Sync to cloud stalls

[Tony]

Hi @ben1,
To see the number of files and folders we are talking about you can run these two commands from a terminal session:
For files:
find "/Users/bstout/odrive/Encryptor/encrypt/ben" -type f | wc -l

For folders:
find "/Users/bstout/odrive/Encryptor/encrypt/ben" -type d | wc -l

This will tell us how much data we are talking about.

Unfortunately, the problem may be related to the symlinking, especially since it is to a network volume. We do not officially support symlinking like this. Here is a post on some of the reasons why:

Syncing symlinks/hardlinks/junctions/etc.. - how does it work?

Hi, Good questions. We don’t officially support user-created junctions/symlinks/hardlinks for a number of reasons. The short of it is that the behavior can be unpredictable and users can get into some disastrous situations in certain circumstances, especially with certain types of storage sources. I saw a case during my testing where the entire source folder was destroyed after a remote rename of a symlinked directory. It also complicates sync substantially and can create issues with reflectio…

I understand why you set it up this way, however. We do not support “sync to odrive” for Encryption yet, which makes what you are doing not possible using odrive officially supported methods. Our next version of encryption is slated to have this feature, though.

Is your main use case encrypted backup of your NAS to Amazon Drive?
