My Laptop with Windows 10 crashed. I had to do a fresh install.
I downloaded Insnyc again and set the same folder path as before (to my NAS). Insync treated the files on the NAS as new files and started uploading then to Google drive. On google drive Insync adds a new folder like “Folder(1)” and it started downloading the “Folder(1)” to my NAS??? A total mess…
If I would have allowed this process to run I would have had double everything. On my NAS I would have the “Folder” and “Folder(1) downloaded from Google Drive”. On Google Drive “Folder” + "Folder(1) which syncs to “Folder”" . Both “F” and “F(1)” having identical content.
How can I fix this mess, to Upload everything again (and deleting the GD Folder) is not an option over 1 TB of Data. H
How do I fix the “Folder index file” that didn’t remember last night sync (because it was partying all night and had a film tear)
Summary:
WIN 10 kill - wipe - fresh install - INSYNC forgot history and syncs all my files again??!!?? and creates new folders on GD and in return download the newly created folders to the local machine.
(Insync same setting, same path, same account)
before
le local Folder
Bla
Le GB
Bla
after
le local Folder:
Bla
le GD:
Bla
Bla (1)
!!!then its downloads Bla(1) to my NAS!!!
I uploaded like 2000 files, about 1 TB. I can’t just say yeah, let’s upload it again… and have everything downloaded again.
If I hadn’t noticed it, I would have double everything.
(Sounds kinda like Insync messed up folders on Google Drive? )
To clarify the pictures: First I Uploaded some folders with GSync (just the folders where synced, no data) then I started using Insync, it added to the existing file structure. Picutre No 3 after the crash Insync yet again add a “third” folder. the (2) Folder
