RealTimeSync with Gdrive Linux not work

Posts: 2 · ice99 20 Mar 2019, 07:34

I do the following:
1. Syncing in FreeFileSync google drive with folder on disk has no problem (except 0-size of google docs)
2. I made batch job, based on this sync. (File "Drive.ffs_batch") see picture
3. I open RealTimeSync, and open file "Drive.ffs_batch". All fields are filled. see picture
4. I press "Start" button on RealTimeSync. It closes.
5. I see running RealTimeSync in task manager. see picture.

But there is no syncing at all.

Why???

When i try point Gdrive not directly, but via attached folder in explorer - all filenames became corrupted. See the other picture.

The question is:
How synchronize Gdrive with RealTimeSync?

Strange, this should have failed with an error message instead:

However: Supporting Google Drive in RealTimeSync *is* possible (e.g. via polling every 10 seconds), unlike FTP, or MTP. So maybe I'll add that at some time.

I think this is a bug in GVFS, not FreeFileSync. In any case, you can open Google Drive in your web browser and have a look. The files are probably okay.

As far, as i understand RealTimeSync with Gdrive is NOT possible NOW? Right?

Exactly, I'm just wondering why you didn't get an error message when starting RTS that would have explained just that.
