Hi @mitchel,
The fluctuating percentages are a byproduct of how the sync engine works, where it is progressively syncing through the folders. The numbers may fluctuate as odrive encounters more items to sync as it progresses through the recursive structure. This is also why you may see a folder listed instead of all of the individual files, as odrive is processing that folder as a single sync “job”.
Generally this fluctuating behavior is only apparent when performing very large bulk operations, like when a user is trying to upload or download a very large amount of data as part of import/export/or local mirroring. After the bulk operations complete, the day-to-day usage of odrive will have less volatility in the sync status.
Sync shouldn’t get stuck, in the sense that it will just hang or pause. You will see items that failed to sync in “waiting” or “not allowed” within the odrive menu, or see a general error message if there is some sort of unexpected or unrecoverable error.
You can also use the icon overlays within Finder to see status of individual files and folders that are syncing.
Additionally, if you feel you need more details about the current odrive state, you can trigger a diagnostic from the odrive menu. This will create a local diagnostic file in the root of the odrive folder named “current_odrive_status.txt”. This file will have more granular information about currently syncing items and any errors that have been encountered.
A final method for obtained odrive status is to use the CLI to request odrive status
