This message is a big problem for me. I use insync on multiple Linux machines to keep my home directory on each of them synched to the same google drive folder. The directory contains lots of symlinks (about 1600 of them). Up until recently insync ignored the symlinks quietly. Now whenever I start insync it flags each symlink as “Attention required” with a message like
/home/arnold/Insync/gdrive/home/www/Moebius was not uploaded because syncing symlinks is not supported. Please use Local Selective Sync from the Cloud Browser and choose the target folder to be synced.
I get 1600 such message every time I start insync. If I have “Show pop-up notifications” checked in the preferences, I also get 1600 pop-up notifications!
Please fix this!
Concerning support for symlinks, I don’t know what Mia means when she says symlink support on Insync 3 works via Local Selective Sync. The symlink support I would like is when two computers sync the same google drive folder, if I create a symlink on one of the computers, the same symlink will appear on the other computer, just like if I create a file on one of the computers the same file will appear on the other. Is this possible?
