   It will duplicate all your backups

   I have a PC which I have reformatted twice. In both occasions I backed up all my files which I then proceeded to restore. Upon re-installing and re-configuring Insync, I made the mistake of believing it would actually do its job and check and compare the local files and folders with the online ones, you know, as one would expect… or maybe I’m stupid and I just don’t get how syncing software should work. In any case, of course it did NOT check and compare anything because why would it? No Sir, it just went and uploaded EVERYTHING again to Google Drive so now I have duplicated files and folders all over the place because of course I do. It has been almost a year to the day since I first wrote to Insync about this, of course I received a very kind reply that was good for absolutely nothing, which I now clearly see because the exact same thing has happened again.

   Moral of the story: If it’s mission-critical, find another software of be ready to spend hours hoping to fix Insync’s poorly executed solution. And don’t expect them to do anything at all to fix the issue, EVER.

• Which Cloud storage is everyone trusting with their IP?

  I personally use Filen (https://filen.io/) because of its lifetime plans. It just works for me. Source: 6 months ago

• Filen - Thumbnails issue

  I wanted to try filen.io so I got a 500GB plan during the Black Friday. The main reason was the Zero knowledge end-to-end encryption. Source: 6 months ago

• Cloud backup

  A second option: Filen has 10GB free and 100GB lifetime for €30. Their higher-capacity plans are pretty affordable too. Source: 11 months ago

• AppImage - Filen Drive

  Hi ! I've just discovered a cloud provider called Filen : filen.io, they offer a desktop app to sync local folder to remote. The app is an AppImage, I've tried to run it all day long. It starts normally, but once I'm logged in, the app GUI just closes and does not show itself in the taskbar anymore, but the AppImage is still working in background (Console is still open, and system monitor shows some process).
