Synchronizing an external hd in two different computers

I’m new with insync and I want to know if it’s possible to synchronize a folder in an external hard drive in two different computers (my desktop and laptop) with insync. How to proceed? My OS is ubuntu.
Thanks!

@Alfredo_Sanchez_Albe Yes, it is possible to sync your folders from an external hard drive to Google Drive using Insync.

See howto here: How to sync folders outside of the Insync folder

Let me know if this helps. If not, send me an email to support@insynchq.com

Hi @roald,
DID:

  1. Synched folder “NN” UP to Drive using alias in OS X from computer 1, no problem.
  2. Tried synch folder “NN” DOWN from Drive on computer 2 (also OS X) using alias to put synched contents out of the synch folder. I did this by creating folder “NN” out of synch folder and place alias “NN” inside synch folder, then selected “NN” to be synched in insynch.

HAPPENED:

  1. Insynch created new folder “NN” in Drive, parallel to original “NN”
  2. Insynch synched original folder contents of “NN” from Drive to new folder “NN (2)” in synch folder on computer 2, parallel to the “NN” alias.

EXPECTED:
Method for synching DOWN from Drive straight into alias. Any workarounds?

Thanks!

What you are saying is that when you add a folder on an external drive to Insync, you get an alias in Drive. Then when you unplug the drive and put it in a second computer, there is no way to point the drive to the same alias there?

My use case is similar. I have not had time to try it yet but my whole reason for trying out Insync is that I want to sync between different external folders, like this:

Google Drive: /Pictures
Computer 1: /Users/per/Pictures
Computer 2: /Volumes/External/Pictures
Computer 3: X:\Some\Sub\Path\Pictures

Is this possible to achieve?
