Actually, after a quick google I’m going to use rclone instead. For what we need (one way server backups), its fine (it can do syncs as well)., its also free It may not be as polished as Insync, but for me, it works, it uses our own client IDs so rate limiting isn’t the issue anymore (this is what we ran into with v3, it constantly hit rate limits and simply stopped trying to upload).
Trying the v3 on Ubuntu 20.10 it gets stuck syncing constantly on a large 500GB OneDrive. Im going to try the 1.5x version and hope its ok.
Hey everybody, I figured I’d give my experience with this issue in case it helps someone. First off, the devs messed up by screwing over everybody that purchased a lifetime license to their product. I use Insync on a headless server for personal use and can’t justify upgrading to 3.0 and spending more money on Insync than I pay for the cloud storage it accesses.
Here is what I found for me, when I download and install 1.5.7 using the Ubuntu 18.04 .deb I get nothing but issues when I try to start it. After finding this page I tried installing version 1.5.7 using the “Headless deb” at the top of this page. I installed it using apt install (not sure if this matters or not) and it seems to work flawlessly now.
Maybe this will help somebody. Have a good day.
what is the apt command to install 1.5.7?
Is Insync 1.5.7 still meant to work @mia? I’m getting Error: (401, '{\n "error": "unauthorized_client",\n "error_description": "Unauthorized"\n}'). I have a lifetime license in teams and can’t get the headless working in 3 without it wanting a server account.
@Nick_Jones1 yup, I checked your account and it’s still meant to work with your Teams license but this license is compatible for 1.x and 1.x-headless, not 3.x-headless. To summarize, your Teams license works for:
- 1.x with GUI
- 1.x-headless
- 3.x Desktop version (with GUI)
It is not supported on:
- 3.x-headless
You can continue using the 1.x-headless build without interruptions to your sync. I hope that clears things up!
Thanks @mia that’s what I thought, there’s definitely an issue here somewhere then because I am getting the above unauthorized_client error on 1.5.7 headless trying to add a new account and one of my old working accounts has disconnected. Please can you take a look.
Thanks
Hello @Nick_Jones1 
Could you send an email to support@insynchq.com with the link to this post?
Please do include the ff:
- Insync account that is getting the
unauthorized_clienterror - Insync account that got disconnected
-
logs.dbandout.txtfiles. These should be in~/.config/Insync-headless
Thanks very much!
Nick, were you able to figure this out? Running into a similar issue on CentOS 7.
Hi @Seth_Goldin!
I have reached out to our engineers about this after receiving your email. Could you also send me the logs.db and out.txt files from ~/.config/Insync-headless?
