I am having an issue with RTS. I am using version 12.0 for Linux. Specifically, I am non receiving any updates for file saved in three remote cloud.
My home server has two disks (dati04 e dati05), and the remote clouds are: SharePoints, OneDrive (both from Microsoft), and the last second local disk only has a replica in the OpenDrive cloud.
R.....clone is installated on my server, and I can access remote files without any problems using both my file manager an variius software programs.
I follewed the guide to configure RTS, and I think I configured it correctply.
However, it dosen't work.
Why?
What can I do?
Thank you.
RealTimeSync does not synchronize

Likely those three remote cloud locations do not support directory monitoring, or at least not by/from a (for them) remote location.
Normally the RealTimeSync (RTS) GUI warns you about locations that do not support being monitored.

Thank you, I didn't know that and I didn't receive any notification.
If that's the case, RealTimeSync is useless to me.

Let me rephrase my question: if I have files on a local disk, I have made a copy of them on a remote disk (a cloud), and I modify the local files, will RTS change the contents of the remote disk?
Thank you.
Thank you.

If changes only originate on your local disk(s), and not on your remote location(s), RTS only needs to monitor one or more directories on your local disk(s) for changes. And upon detecting any such changes launch FFS to Mirror or Update sync those changes to your remote locations.
In the RTS GUI, you can then remove the remote location(s) from the list of folders to be monitored for changes.
So, assuming your OS supports directory monitoring of local disks (which, as far as I know Windows, Linux and Apple OS's do) RTS should be able to detect changes in the monitored local directory/directories and consequently launch the FFS sync specified in the RTS command line.

Thank you,
I understand. I am attaching screenshots of the current configuration, which is not working.
I am also adding the rclone configuration showing the remote clouds (Cloud INL, Cloud INL-SP, and OpenDrive) mounted in local locations on the casa00 server and the result of the mounts as seen by the file manager I use: Double Commander.
So, if I understand correctly, changes in the clouds are not detected by RTS, even though my OS sees them as local disks via rclone?
Therefore, if I access the clouds with a computer other than casa00, the files modified on the clouds are not updated or added to the local disks of casa00: dati04 and dati05. Is that right?
Yet, if I run FFS, as configured, all changes are detected.
What changes do you suggest?
Thank you.

I am not very familiar with (what seems to be) Linux and mounting remote/cloud locations via rsync.
That said, I have a couple of questions/observations:
• "I am attaching screenshots of the current configuration, which is not working".
What is not working?
Does RTS not detect changes and consequently not launch the FFS sync?
Or does RTS launch the FFS sync, but does the FFS sync "not work", and if so, in which way does it not work. You can check the FFS log file to see if FFS ran, and if so, what the log reports.
• From your rsync screenshot, it seems that Cloud INL-SP, Cloud INL and Cloud OpenDrive are all three cloud locations (that likely do not support directory monitoring).
Still, your RTS list of folders monitored for changes includes six cloud locations.
Try removing all but the (seemingly) local folders /media/dati04/dati/immagini and /media/dati05/dati from the RTS list of folders to be monitored.
Even more because you suggested all changes to be synced originate locally, So, there is no need to monitor your cloud locations for changes.
• You suggested all changes to be synced originate locally. Nevertheless the first two folder pairs of your FFS configuration sync between two cloud locations.
• You suggested all changes to be synced originate locally. Nevertheless you use a two-way (Due vie) sync, instead of a Mirror or Update sync.
