Ok, I managed to downgrade from 3.9 to 3.8.7 and it works again. However I don’t really think it’s a proper solution to the problem, just a temporary hack.

How did you downgrade to 3.8.7?

I had the source in the yay cache (~/.cache/yay/insync), so I removed 3.9 and used that to install 3.8.7.

@Maciej_Bienkowski Hello! Could you send your logs.db and out.txt files to support@insynchq.com? Please include the link to this Forums post so I can trace the original report.

Thank you!
