This is debian 9, it only has python3.5, but the script expects 3.7

Any way to correct/bypass this?

Hi @ikaRus!

Let me check this out for you. Could you also please send us your logs.db and out.txt files to support@insynchq.com?

Those 2 files are in ~/.config/Insync :slight_smile: Thank you!

Hi,

I got it to properly start with a non-root user.

For the home folder, I selected /home/public, when I was presented with the folder content I selected 2 folders to be synced.

What I now see is that the app is syncing the whole of /home/public instead of my 2 selected folders within that location.

How do I correct that? I tried to find a way to re-select but didn’t find any.

Regards,

Dudi

Hi Dudi @ikaRus,

Am I understanding that /home/public/ contain files that are being uploaded to the cloud? If that’s the case, then the local files will indeed be uploaded to the cloud due to the file-matching feature.

An option we can do is:

  1. Remove the account first to restart the sync
  2. Clean up the unwanted files that got uploaded to the cloud
  3. Choose an empty folder as your Base Folder.
  4. Then, do Local Selective Sync and choose the 2 folders that you want to be uploaded from /home/public.
