Hi I am a Mac user. I have manually uploaded my ~/Pictures folder (including my iPhoto library ) into Amazon Drive Now I realize the free odrive will not sync my “external” Pictures folder. I am ready to move the Pictures into Odrive folder but I am not sure if this will trigger re-upload of the whole content (250GB) or the odrive will understand that those files are already there and will only track changes from now on ? thanks in advance

Hi, odrive attempts to reconcile the local and remote data in a way that prevents re-upload of identical data. In most cases it works well, but it will depend on a few factors, including the storage source being used. My strong recommendation is to try it on a small subset of the data, before dragging over the entire 250GB, and observe the results. Thanks!

Moving an already synced ext folder into odrive folder - will re-upload?

Thanks @lsshraga,
It looks like you are running into this issue here. Can you take a look for a temporary workaround?
