Just Moved 5+ gb to Insysnc Folder, Stuck at Syncing Meta

Bugs and issues Linux
#1

This May not be a bug, I may just need to wait a while. Yesterday I decided to make the switch completely from Dropbox to Google Drive.

So I copied all files from Dropbox to Google Drive this morning and for a while now Insysnc has said Syncing metadata. The files I moved are somewhere around 5+ gb and 100’s of thousands of files. I was worried that your software couldn’t handle it, but figured I would try it anyways.

Keep in-mind I deleted files from my Google Drive as well as added new and added the New files on my PC. If anything this will be a brute test to see if your app candle the worst.

What steps can I take to make sure that Insync is working properly? Should it just say Syncing metadata?

I saw the cmd manual in terminal and paused, started, forced and still no luck? Still says Syncing metadata.

Maybe I spoke to soon. I left my pc running all night long and when I got in the office it is now syncing it only has 50,000 files togo.

It still seems like it only transfers 2 files at a time, this needs to be addressed. A big recommendation is instead of saying syncing metadata, have it actually do something so we know the app isn’t stuck or crashed. More feedback from the app is a must.

Again did I speak to soon? I t seems to have stopped syncing and now says 59,221 items queued?
