For me, important features include selective sync, multi-device sync, reliability Google Drive sync, and esp keeping my very large Lightroom pic and video libraries synced in the cloud. Ove the last year or so, I’ve experienced too many issues and my confidence in Insync’s reliability has severely eroded.Īs a long-time Insync customer (5 years+), I am now looking for alternatives. This seems to be an endemic issue that may have to do with a seriously compromised codebase, refactoring, misguided priorities on pushing new features over resolving serious bugs, or perhaps just a subpar product team. I have been building sophisticated SaaS applications for a long time now. Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be any real improvement.

I was hoping the long-delayed update to 64-bit, v3+ Mac app would have sorted some of the major issues around sync errors, DB corruption would have been resolved. Rclone is just a 1 way sync client, meaning you have to manage 2 configurations for any bi-directional sync.As many posts here show, Insync has been bug-ridden for too long now. If you want the 'on-demand' functionality - without any Shared Folder | SharePoint Library - then 'onedriver' is a great alternative. If you also want to use 'webhooks' for real time notification of remote changes, see PR #1626, and shortly later this month the support for multi language support will drop for non-english users. Most other clients do not support those at the moment. If you just want to 'sync' your data, then the client I develop is the best option (biased opinion!) as it supports all manner of Shared Folders (Personal & Business) & SharePoint Libraries | SharePoint sites. Via 'insync', 'ExpanDrive' - non-free client Via 'rclone' - one way sync client, open source and free Via the 'onedriver' client - Native file system that only provides 'on-demand' functionality, open source and free Via the OneDrive for Linux client - this 'syncs' your data, bi-directional operation, open source and free What client to use really depends on your use case for OneDrive as here are only 5 reliable ways to access OneDrive on Linux:
