   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.

• Using Google Sheets as the back end/APIs of your app

  Neat! This seems very similar to Sheety[0], which I've used a bunch of times before (and found a few bugs...). Do you have any plans to open source? [0]https://sheety.co. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Making an app that connects to Google Sheets

  Calling a 3rd party API: There is a complete ecosystem providing "google-sheets-as-DB". I personally tested and recommend https://sheetson.com/ but there are a lot more with free tiers https://sheetsu.com/ https://sheety.co/. Source: about 2 years ago
