Hey @32-bit! Thanks for posting before you pull the trigger. A couple of things I see happening:
If you sync backup to /backup/backup, it’ll create a third backup subfolder. So you’ll likely end up with this locally:
/backup/backup (which has the biggig and jsundqui folders) and inside it is another backup folder (/backup/backup/backup).
And we don’t want that - you’ll essentially have two copies of the same backup folder in different subdirectories.
So I would recommend something else if possible. Upon adding the account, could you choose the default folder that Insync creates? The one that says ~/[username]/Insync/email address? Then, don’t select anything to sync. Just finish the setup by clicking “I’ll do this later” > Next > Finish.
Afterwards, follow the local selective sync section here: https://help.insynchq.com/en/articles/3220036-selective-sync.
- Click “LSS: 2-way sync” on the upper right. A pop-up window will appear
- Select
/backup/backup - Click
Merge with a folderand thenChoose folder - Select
backupfrom Google Drive
The end result is that you have backup from the cloud syncing to /backup/backup and vice versa. If you need a quick demo to see, let me know!
