Maaaan, #Insync seriously pooped the bed.

This is such a mess. 🤦‍♂️

I am trying #insync It works like a charm. Evaluating subscribing to it.

Any user/subscriber out there willing to provide feedback/opinion?

@cybervegan Obviously, you don't want to foot the bill for #insync. But informing your customers of good premium software is invaluable if the free/open-source options don't fit their needs. There are a lot of crap vendors out there, often just repackaging already open source software.

@cybervegan It isn't #opensource unfortunately. Sometimes you have to #bitethebullet and use software that isn't 100% what you want for user acceptance.

I'm very pro open source. None of the available options for syncing would have passed my wife's user acceptance or been a nightmare to support. I still believe #insync is still the best in breed #googledrive client compared to other sync clients over the years.

@cybervegan I've been using the #Insync sync client for #googledrive for over a decade now. It has been great. I've had a few hiccups over that decade but nothing too bad and no data loss. I know the Insync client also has a #OneDrive integration.

As for pricing, for personal use, it has a one time payment for life option since you pay by the account that I never felt was too bad.

@wmj1102 Wow I was just reading about #AndroidPhones when I read your post. #InSync. Have a great convention.

I haven't used it with Dropbox, but #InSync (https://www.insynchq.com/) does a great job with Google Drive syncing, being faster than even the official Google Drive app (Linux performance compared to the windows google drive app)

It does support dropbox, though. And you pay once per account you sync with (can use it on any number of machines, last I checked). It's not open source, though.

Upgrading to #Xubuntu #Noble — 24.04 from 22.02 — and a review

The upgrade to Xubuntu 24.04 introduced both enhancements and challenges. Key issues included difficulties with re-enabling third-party #PPAs, slow initial load times for #Thunderbird, and complications with #Insync. #Snap applications are more prevalent, and they require careful management to avoid storage issues.

Reading about the Dropbox AI shenanigans makes me wonder about my files in Microsoft's OneDrive, especially given their recent AI fervour. I use the Insync Linux client on Debian to sync files with my OneDrive account and it works really well, but maybe it is time to consider some alternatives.

@gunstick I use #InSync for years now on my Linux and macOS machines. Works fine, ain't free though.

Can any recommend a #gdrive #Linux client that doesn’t need a custom oauth setup? Looking for a client that will work for my work account. I usually use #insync, but it does not work in #nixos.

Finally got around to removing Insync https://www.insynchq.com/ in favour of just using pCloud. It hasn't worked properly with Google Drive in ages, authentication is broken.

Hilariously stupid that Google Drive doesn't support Linux natively, they have tons of desktop Linux use inside Google.

I love supporting underdogs like Insync, but if it doesn't work, it doesn't work. Pity.

@royal @toby1kenobi

Yeah, even using my own API key, rclone mount was pretty slow.

I just bit the bullet and bought #InSync. I didn't realize their pricing was PER CLOUD ACCOUNT, which is kinda scary, but I only have one I care about fast access to, so that's ok for my needs.

It is FAST. Possibly faster than the native gdrive client on windows. I asked them and they said they're using the standard API, but I have a hard time believing it. It's just crazy fast. Well-written.

Oops!

I think I'm going to drop the $30 on #InSync. I've had it running flawlessly (afaict) for the past few days, and it's crazy quick. I think it actually syncs a lot faster than "proper" goog drive.

Not crazy about the fact that it's $30 PER ACCOUNT, though :P

@[email protected] hear, hear. I just wish their prices were more competitive. Hard to beat OneDrive 1TB tier (works fine on #Linux with #insync for those wondering).

@[email protected] Wouldn't that be great? Who knows, maybe they'll make it happen. I am a big #FOSS proponent but proprietary software isn't inherently evil in my humble opinion. For instance, #Steam is great! So are #Vivaldi, #GOG, #inSync, #Plex, #Authy, etc. I am Ricardo, not Richard. 😉 :thinking_rms: In the end I'm for choice, whatever floats your boat.
