File stuck uploading at 0 bytes

Bugs and issues

This really needs to be prioritised… I simply can’t rely on InSync syncing data between computers at this stage. I keep ending up with partially synced folders unless I manually keep an eye on InSync all the time and intervene by renaming files etc.

Hi @RobinJ1995,

Could you please send me the latest set of logs.db and out.txt files so I can request for this to be prioritised in an upcoming projects cycle?

Also – is the stuck syncing happening on many smaller files or a few big files (alternately, a mix of both)?

#31

I seem to be having similar issues - recently (i.e. today) installed insync with Gdrive to replace Dropbox, however I am having issues syncing my drive (and I plan to sync it on a second computer after this one).

Logs show rate limit issues. I am uploading 5k plus files, most under 1mb, a few are in the 100mb range, but those went up no problem.

I have emailed you the out.txt and logs.db

#32

We have a possible improvement lined up for rate limit errors! I’ll link it here (and in the email you sent) as soon as it’s ready.

I have the same issue, I was trying to “Backup” my entire laptop to our Google Drive.
And it get stuck and after reboot it restarts but it only sync for a few min and then get stuck again.

I’m using Fedora 34 and insync client v3.5.1.50115

Hi Mia, do we have any update on this yet? Insync (google drive) just get stuck and it can upload no file.

@anti-clockwise Hello, and thank you for following up!

It looks like you were in touch with Mara via email after you sent the logs over. Could you please let me know if the duplication issue persists? If so, could you confirm if:

  • You see any visible error messages? This is indicated by a red exclamation mark
  • Have you tried to move those stuck files out of the local folder, wait for Insync to de-clog the sync cue, then move then back to the folder one at a time?

Hi @mia, my current only issue is about insync cannot upload files.

You see any visible error messages? This is indicated by a red exclamation mark
No.
Have you tried to move those stuck files out of the local folder, wait for Insync to de-clog the sync cue, then move then back to the folder one at a time?

No. The files are under different nested directories. So the moving operation is too cumbersome. What I did do is, I manually upload the stuck files to google drive, and insync will then keep syncing. But shortly, new files get stuck. So it’s also a no go.

My symptom are kinda the same as the descriptions in this thread.

@anti-clockwise Hey! Sorry about the delays. I checked with Mara and it seems like all is well on your end?

Just double-checking :slight_smile:

#46

To solve it on my side I rename the stuck file/directory and wait for Insync to upload it. When the upload is done I click on “Pause app” and then I click on “Resume” and after the Scanning/Syncing starts I rename the file/directory to the original name.
I’m doing this with a lot of files and directories and it is working fine.

I solved it by clearing session info for the files using:

sqlite3 ~/Library/Application\ Support/Insync/live/live-gd-<gdid>.db "delete from cl_extras where key like 'ul-sess-add%'"

Thank you for sharing your solution, @logg!

#49

The problem still persists in this latest version.
Why is the problem not fixed??? What’s the difficulty?
So it is not possible to trust the program.
Please help us to resolve this issue permanently.

Hello support team, hope you had a nice christmas time. I’m a long time user of insync and it seems, that I experienced the problem decribed above now for the first time. Fact ist, that I moved a lot - some thousand files - not with windows explorer but with my ACDSee photo manager. Insync didn’t detect the movement and subsequently removed all moved filed from gdrive und is now uploading all to gdrive from the new location. Same hard disc by the way. And now I’m stuck on certain files that are not uploaded. Restarting insync didn’t help. I moved the file in question to adifferent folder, it was uploaded immediately, but insync still tries to upload the file from the location where it was deleted some moments before. I the quit insync. Restarted insync and after a while of scanning it seems, that the problem is solved…
Best regards
Peter

My apologies for the trouble, @Peter_William_LeMans! I’m relieved to know that your files have synced properly since reporting this, but it sounded like how Insync handled the moves caused you a lot of headache.

I wanted to check if that folder where you moved the files to was previously synced prior to moving the files in there? Furthermore, would you be able to recall if the previous folder (original location of your files) had a green or yellow check on the app?
