Hi @franzton,
First, I just want to make sure you have recovered all of your data in Amazon Drive. Is that correct? Are you able to browse through the Amazon Drive’s web interface and see all of your files?
As for the duplicate folders, odrive is going to see whatever is in the cloud. Since there are duplicates now in the cloud, that is what is going to be pulled down locally if you try to sync everything. If you have everything restored in Amazon, you can start removing the duplicates from the cloud via the Amazon Drive web client, which will then be reflected locally.
I’m not quite following what you did for remove sync. I originally suggested doing that first, but I probably didn’t make that clear enough in the midst of all the other information. It sounds like you just did removed sync, after restoring all of the cloud data. Is that correct?
Once you have removed sync, the local folder will no longer be linked to the remote folder, so the clicking on placeholders won’t work. You will need to link it again (sync to odrive), making sure you are targeting the proper remote location. As a reminder, here is a post about the current behavior:
Fortunately, we just made a change, to be rolled out soon, that will prevent confusion like this.
Thanks!
