Scanning For Changes at Boot

Bugs and issues Windows

Hello @christantoan,

Yes we will work on improving the efficiency during initialization.

If the local files don’t change while Insync is not running, you may skip this local folder scan by disabling Insync auto-start on system startup and starting Insync via command-line with the following command:

%appdata%\Insync\App\Insync.exe --skip-local-scan

This will make it skip the local folder scan to scan for changes made while it wasn’t running and hence it would proceed to the transfers faster (note: this doesn’t affect the scan after pause-resume).

If you want to start Insync on the system startup with this flag set, kindly do the following:

  1. Go to %appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
  2. Right click Insync shortcut -> click Properties
  3. In the “Target” field under the “Shortcut” tab append --skip-local-scan (See: https://mrkr.io/EIZWUDQYp2)
  4. Click Apply

Thanks
