Unable to Sync large backup

[jedhassell]

Hi, I am trying all my files off of Amazon drive to an external hard drive. The total backup is ~2TB. When I click on the root folder and choose sync (include subfolders), it runs for about a minute at ~50MB/s and then it just stops. The odrive icon returns to a solid black color. This is the latest version of the sync tool on MacOS Mojave. Any help would be greatly appreciated

I should add that the download started and downloaded ~800GB and I had to turn it off. I am now trying to resume where it left off by syncing the root folder.

Thanks!

Hi @jedhassell,
Take a look at this post here to help with very large bulk downloads:

How can I force a recursive sync (download) with the CLI?

For large bulk downloads, if odrive encounters numerous exceptions, rate limits, or certain types of “critical” errors, it will abort the action instead of just blindly retrying to infinity. This can be frustrating if a user wants to download lots and lots of content, but the storage service is returning frequent errors. For scenarios like these, it is possible to use the CLI to essentially perform a brute-force “download until done” action. It is not elegant, but it can be useful for some folk…

Thank you. I’ll give this a try on my Mac. Also, I saw this error in my console but I’m not sure if it’s related.

Hi @jedhassell,
That error shouldn’t be anything to worry about and definitely won’t affect the sync engine.
