Insync and Raspberry Pi

How do I move the sync folder onto an external hard drive using the command line?
How do I then start and stop sync using the command line?

To start and stop you need to cd to the insync-portable folder, then ./insync-portable start and ./insync-portable quit to start and stop.

EDIT: To move the folder you can use this command: insync-portable move_folder PREV_PATH NEW_PATH

Sorry, I meant how do I start sync? From what I understand, that command runs the service, but doesn’t start synchronisation

Also, thanks for the folder tip!

From the looks of the insync-portable help command start seems to be the only command to start everything. I’ve got it running on my Pi using just that, though I might have had to sudo the start command the first time to add my account information. You can get_sync_status to watch the queue.

Hi theovenbird ! Can you say me what SO are you using on your Raspberry Pi, is it Jessi, which version?
I’m trying to run Insync portable but It doesn’t work
