Renamed files revert back to old names

Hi @ovdm,
I am not able to reproduce this, but it sounds like this could be due to a delay in Google reflecting the rename when requesting a listing of the folder again.

In other words:

  • odrive renames the file successfully
  • odrive then asks for a listing of the folder where this file resides, shortly after.
  • The listing Google provides still has the old name in it because Google’s reflection is delayed, despite them having processed the rename.
  • odrive sees the listing with the old name and thinks that it had been renamed back to the original name, so it processes that change locally.
  • Later, Google properly reflects the rename, odrive sees this and changes it again on the local side.

If the above is happening, we should be able to see it in the Sync activity log (found at the top of the odrive menu under “Ready to sync new changes/Syncing changes” -> “Open sync activity log”.

  1. Can you try to reproduce this and then copy and paste the events that show up in the sync activity log so I can take a look?
  2. Can you also send a diagnostic from the odrive tray menu (at the bottom)?
