Sync a Folder to 2 Separate Google Drives

I want to include a folder in two separate syncs to separate Google Drives. As InSync doesn’t support adding a folder to a second sync I am trying to achieve this via a work-around (please let me know if there is a better way to do this)…

  1. [Folder X] is added to [Google Drive A Sync]
  2. Create a Symbolic Link (using MKLINK on Windows) creating a shortcut from [Shortcut X] to [Folder X]
  3. [Shortcut X] is added to [Google Drive B Sync]
  4. Any changes with [Folder X] are sync’d to both [Google Drive A Sync] and [Google Drive B Sync]

I have completed steps 1 and 2 above but when adding the shortcut (symbolic link) to the second Google account it appears that InSync just sees it as a standard shortcut file and doesn’t recognise as a folder to sync (and nothing happens).

Is it down to how I create the symbolic link or is there a better way?

This is now seriously urgent for my client and need to find a way to sync the same folder to two Google Drives. Any help would be massively appreciated.

@raldred: Unfortunately, you can’t do that. Insync deliberately doesn’t follow that symbolic link second time around.

We recommend that you share folder X (right click Insync->share) to your account B and choose not to sync it under account B locally so that there is only one copy of the same files locally

Thanks
