Google Drive Backup and Sync

[greganka]

Hi All,

 

I purchased drivepool about a month ago and I am loving it.

I have 44TB pooled up with an SSD cache it works great until yesterday.

I downloaded backup and sync to sync my google drive to the pool and it synced the files I needed to the SSD then the SSD moved the data to the archive drives.

Then backup and sync gave me an issue that the items are not synced and synced it again. 

It seems like backup and sync cannot sync to the pool for some reason. Did anyone else have this problem? Is this why we have clouddrive?

I am really disappointed as If i knew it wouldn't work I wouldn't have bough drivepool or I would've bough the whole package at a discount instead of buying them one by one.

It depends on how Backup and Sync works exactly.  If it's relying on the USN Journal (which I suspect it is), that can be a problem, as StableBit DrivePool doesn't support that.

I've been having this same issue since I moved my Google Drive folder to a pooled drive. 

Every time I restart my computer (or the application), Backup and Sync behaves as if all of the files are different and "uploads" them. Fortunately, it seems that Google Drive is smart enough to detect that the files haven't actually changed as I do not see any activity on the web UI. This is annoying though as the process takes quite a while and there is conflicts for files that I actually changed. 

As a result, I decided to move my Google Drive folder to a standalone drive (along with my Plex Media Server folder).
