Re-synch backup folder after os reinstallation?

[nonchiedercilaparola]

hi, i hope that my questions aren’t stupid.

1. If i reinstall my os, then reinstall odrive and select the seme folder of old installation (imported from a backup), will odrive re-synch again each files or he can regonize that the file are the same?

2. if i create a new folder into a synchronized folder willthis new folderbe re-synch automatically?

3. if i move folder that are in the odrive folder will this be moved on the cloud service?

Hi! Not stupid at all!

This should work. After installing odrive and logging in with the same account (very important), you could choose to move the odrive folder, using the feature located in the odrive tray menu, and point it to the backed-up odrive folder. This may not be practical if a lot fo stuff has changed since the backup was made, but it should be okay if only a short time has passed. We make a best effort to reconcile the items we see with the ones in the cloud

2. if i create a new folder into a synchronized folder willthis new folderbe re-synch automatically?

If you create a new folder anywhere in odrive, the contents will be automatically synced to the cloud. Is that what you are asking?

3. if i move folder that are in the odrive folder will this be moved on the cloud service?

Yes. If you move the folder somewhere else within the same linked source (so a move of a folder from one location to another in the same Dropbox account, for example), the folder move will be synced to the cloud
