Does Insync work along side Google File Stream on Windows if they are using the same account?

#1

I would like to use both Google File Stream and Insync side by side. Is this a tested use case?
They are pointing to different folders so I imagine there wouldn’t be any issues.

Using 1.4 Beta. On Windows 10 Pro x64 FCU.

Thanks

We do not receommend using both File Stream and Insync especially if they are using the same Google Account.

Ok, can you explain why? That would help me dismiss my use-case and find an alternative work-flow.
Thanks

Have you gotten an answer yet? I am also interested in this topic.

@Gabriel_Fair, @Marcus_Volker: Insync won’t have any problems running alongside Google File Stream as long as they are pointing to different folders i.e. you must not add the Google File Stream’s virtual drive to Insync / set it as one of the Insync folders.

Thanks
