Can't sync "Posts I liked" folder on Instagram

[a.m.buongiovanni]

When I try to sync my Instagram account, I invariably get this error message:

Can’t sync Posts I Liked.cloudf.
Unexpected error. Please try again later.

Any clue?

Thank you

Sorry for the confusion. Instagram recently changed their API access scope and our app is only allowed to request content that the user “owns”. This means “Hashtags” and “Posts I Liked” are no longer accessible. :(. I will update the language in our announcement to make it more clear. The folders within the Instagram link should also be removed to prevent further confusion.

NOTICE: Accessing content you do not "own" on Instagram will no longer be available through the odrive link after June 1, 2016

The Hashtags and Posts I Liked folder features on our Instagram links will no longer work starting on June 1, 2016. Instagram has instituted a new application approval process which prohibits public content API access for apps which fall outside of the constrained scope of their formal partner program. Even though we know it’s their right to control usage of their API for business purposes, we’re disappointed that they won’t change their minds and approve our app. We’ve definitely seen a lot …

Post necro, but it seems relevant.

As a new user of odrive from this month, I find it odd that the “Hashtags” and “Posts I Liked” folders are still appearing by default in the Instagram linked account folder. Moreover, I am unable to remove them myself as they immediately restore with an error stating that this account is read only.

Please advise how I am able to remove these unsynchable folders.

Thanks

Hi @yukihyou,
As the change was rolling out on Instagram, we had left those folders in so that they didn’t instantly disappear on a software update, since users could’ve still had data in there that they wanted. I guess it was overlooked after that.

I will talk to the product team about taking them out.

That’s fine, it just causes some unexpected behavior (early sync termination) sometimes when using my default sync setup - which is to sync “Nothing, but include subfolders and new items” on the root of odrive, to ensure the folder tree is created and files (placeholders) can be searched for in Explorer. When odrive tries to do the initial sync, it gets stuck on folders it can’t reconcile.

Thanks @yukihyou. I can see where that could cause some problems. I will see if we can get it removed.
