Synchronize Dirs to Google Drive

Post by *tokjdm »

I am synchronizing directories from my local c: drive to google drive: when synchronizing subdirectories, the files are copied from my c: drive subdirectory to the main google drive directory (and not the subdirectory corresponding to the c: drive subdirectory).
I have tried a few times with different subdirectories and the problem is the same. Upgrading from 10.50 to 11.1 does not solve the issue

How do you access Google Drive? Do you use the Google client, or my cloud plugin, or some other method?

I cannot reproduce this.

Are you sure you are not inside your c: drive subdirectory when you start the Sync tool?

If you want the c: drive subdirectory syncronized to a corresponding subfolder on the Google drive, you go to the parent drive of your c: drive subdirectory, mark the subdirectory (select it) and then start the Sync tool - it will then only process the marked folder.

I am directly in both subdirectories: on the c: drive on the left side, on the google drive on the right side

I am not sure to understand your comment. I tried to select the subdirectory but when I chose "synchronize dirs" the directory selected for synchro was the parent dir

Why is there a problem going directly into the subdirectory ? This is simpler than what you propose. I have complex subdirectories and choosing what to synchronize after having done the comparison is time consuming.
In addition, when I said that the copy was done to the parent company, it was in fact done to the parent of the parent of the parent

I can't confirm that. This behavior does not occur here. Are you sure there are no links/references involved. In any case, please turn on save log files for the corresponding connection (tcftp.log) and and have a view at the log.

Or just restart the Google Cloud ;-)

What do you mean by links/references ? The subdirectories only include files (but many of the file names are in Japanese)

they do not appear as such. Looking at my google drive in TC, the first two lines are <shared drives> and <shared> but this is not where the subdirectories I am trying to synchronize are located

Okay. Have you already tested it with a structure (folders and files) completely in English with the plugin?
