How can I use my existing Google Drive sync folder with Insync?

Aloha,

Many thanks! Also related to this and another thread:

Sync is dead slow

I have been using Google Drive and never had any sync issue on my Windows and Mac computer. Today, I installed insync and it’s syncing files for many hours and it says still 15K files left. Guess, will take few days to complete sync. I switch computers very often so for me it’s very important to sync files in real time. What should I do to improve sync performance?

During this initial sync process, if I want to add brand new files, would it be more advantageous to add them to the insync folder on my PC that is still syncing, or directly to Google Drive via the web? (I’ve stopped using Google Drive Sync on my PC - per the earlier recommendation.)

Is there a directional preference for syncing? (For example: Are items added to an insync folder on PC a higher sync priority than items being synced from Google Drive? or vice versa, or some other set of prioritization?.)
