Please help, can't install Insync on Debian Stretch

I’m getting this after installing Insync Debian Stretch.

the postinst maintainer script of the package insync seems to use apt-key (provided by apt) without depending on gnupg or gnupg2. This will BREAK in the future and should be fixed by the package maintainer(s).

Note: Check first if apt-key functionality is needed at all - it probably isn’t!

Warning: apt-key should not be used in scripts (called from postinst maintainerscript of the package insync)

Hi @MarcoLetona, can you try running sudo sysctl fs.inotify.max_user_watches=1048576 and then reinstalling?
