Now that El Capitan is GM, should we expect a release with context menus active for OS X 10.11? The main reason I’m asking is that we’d like to switch at release (we’ve seen significant performance increases with the beta) but without the context menu for InSync we’d be hamstrung.
No pressure - just interested in what the plan is for release. Thanks!
Hey @cfrazier, yeah, it’s on our list and since El Capitan is probably coming soon, we want to fix related issues at the latest within next month (and hopefully within a few weeks).
@jimperio - Not just soon - in the next week! We rely so heavily on InSync, we’ll actually hold back until it’s ready, but we’d sure love to have it in place sooner rather than later. Thanks for all the hard work!
The final release is here, and pretty much all of the software we use that had issues has been updated in the last 24 hours… except for InSync. Is the context menu fix being worked on?
@cfrazier@Andre@Michael_Hyatt A new system policy (System Integrity Protection) in El Capitan has made Insync context menus and file icon overlays no longer work. We are currently working on making Insync compatible with SIP.
In the meantime, one thing you can try is to disable SIP.
Restart your Mac.
Before OS X starts up, hold down Command-R and keep it held down until you see an Apple icon and a progress bar. Release. This boots you into Recovery.
From the Utilities menu, select Terminal.
At the prompt type exactly the following and then press Return: csrutil disable
Terminal should display a message that SIP was disabled.
From the menu, select Restart.
You can re-enable SIP by following the above steps, but using csrutil enable instead.
@Eugene_Cox We are currently testing a build internally, and plan to make it available for user testing soon! The release version should be available at the latest within the next two weeks.
@carlolippens The “Add to Insync” context menu is still not available on 10.11, but the context menu for items already synced by Insync should be available. Could you try checking the context menu within the Insync folder?
Also, could you try relaunching Finder and checking again after that?
I relaunched finder several times, but still no solution.
I can’t see any context menu in the insync folder, I’m not sure what I option there should be (and how can I see them, ricght clicking doesn’t give any extra optiosn). Is it because these items were synced using a windows pc?
Looking forward to using insync so I can easily backup my files to gdrive.
@carlolippens Could you also check under System Preferences -> Extensions -> Finder whether “Insync Finder Integration” shows up and is checked? Thank you!
The Finder context (right-click) menu shows up for me, but when I head over to System Preferences -> Extensions -> Finder Insync doesn’t show up (so it’s obviously not checked). I have SIP turned off…should I turn it back on for this newest release of Insync?
Another question. Some of the file types in my Finder show the sync status icon overlays, but other file types do not. Is that a glitch or is than intentional?
