Just installed a fresh copy of Ubuntu 16.04.1 on my new laptop, and installed Insync 1.3.12. Insync has finally finished syncing my two Google accounts, but some files are missing locally. The files that are missing are present online in Google Drive, and are also present on the other computers that are running Insync. However, Insync does not appear to detect that the sync has not yet finished. New files created online in Google Drive are synced correctly, and files added locally are uploaded, so the sync is working, it just has stopped before all files have been downloaded.
Is there a way to force Insync to check locally for files that are missing? Failing that, is there a way to “restart from scratch” and get Insync to start the whole sync process again?
Interesting. Having a look at the app window, I definitely have “All items” checked, and when I drill down to the folders that are missing files the only files that were shown were the ones that have been synced, the other files that are online simply did not appear.
However, having made zero changes and simply closing the app window, Insync is now syncing 18000+ files, and all the missing files now appear in the selective sync interface. It appears that simply looking at the folder here has got Insync to realise that some files are missing. I will let the current sync finish and then check to see if everything is there.
