I’m trying to sync and all of the files exists in both places from a previous sync. but i changed from the headless sync to the desktop sync (same machine) but now it is creating second folders along with uploading all of the files a second time. E.G. i have a folder in my root gdrive “/TV/” the folder also exists in my /home/user/user@domain.com/ folder “/home/user/user@domain.com/TV/”
when i run insync it finds thousands of items to sync and it starts creating folders in google drive like “/TV (2)/” how can i tell insync that all of the files are synced already and to assumer the files are the same and don’t need to be uploaded a second time. I tried removing my .config/Insync folder and restarting the config but the same thing happened. I have 7TB of files in gdrive and i don’t want to start over.
please help me out,
@Dylan_Thurston1: Apologies for the trouble. Please try the following steps to create a debug log:
- Remove your account from Insync
- Remove any duplicates from your Insync folder and from your Google Drive account
- Stop Insync
- Ensure your terminal has sufficient scrollback
- Run Insync with
insync start --debug 1 --no-daemon
- Add your account and reuse your
/home/user/user@domain.com
folder - Continue until you see that duplicates have been created
- Stop Insync and send the output on the terminal to support@insynchq.com
Dear @lpugoy , any news regarding this issue?
It is happening to me very often, and in a massive scale. I have now more than 1000 such duplicated or renamed files and folders. It will take a while to review all of them to make sure which ones are duplicates and which renamed…
The last example, yesterday I created a Git repo in my notebook, and when accessing a few hours latter from my desktop, “.git” became “.git(2)”. Interestingly, in drive.google.com, the folder would show as “.git”.
Cheers.
@Gorka_Navarrete: Apologies for not replying sooner, there is no resolution yet. Please send your logs to support@insynchq.com for investigation.
Just to say this happens to me occasionally, usually when someone has been reorganising things within Drive and I then power on a laptop which has been off for some time. So far, I’ve been able to fix it by using selective sync to remove the offending (2) folders and re-add them. They come back with the correct name.
