I may have to resort to that!

My upload so far is 89 GB, but the amount of data is a couple of hundred GB in total, but gsync keeps giving backend errors and crashing out, so I think that's why it's been filling up my root partition.

Thanks,

Exception when refreshing a previously synchronized folder
 

Dear all,
I have installed gsync since a few months and have being using is very successfully from my Mac (synced around 550GB to my Google Drive).
Lately I installed it also in my Ubuntu machine (14.04 LTS) and it seems it is working fine when updating new directories but failed with "ESyncFileAbstractMethod" exception when trying to refresh a previously synced folder.

I debugged the session and here's the stack before it quits:

Has any of you experienced the same behaviour? Any suggestion?

Thx,

L.

P.S.: my wife is a personal trainer, so I had to backup the Zumba collection for her... :-)

Cento79, I'm glad you've gotten some use out of it!

I don't know if I've run into this particular problem, but I've run into some similar ones. First, make sure you have the Python development libraries, as well as python-pip installed. Then, do:

See if that fixes it. If not, see if there's a bug that mentions one or more of your error messages, here:

Good luck!

InsecurePlatform Warning
 

Hello Dane,
I tried doing it but I got the same problem.
I noticed this warming when upgrading:

/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pip/_vendor/requests/packages/urllib3/util/ssl_.py:90: InsecurePlatformWarning: A true SSLContext object is not available. This prevents urllib3 from configuring SSL appropriately and may cause certain SSL connections to fail. For more information, see https://urllib3.readthedocs.org/en/l...latformwarning.
InsecurePlatformWarning

Do you think there might be a problem in the SSL connection?

I tried to debug it again, but I got stuck at the updateDir part since I haven't really understood where that portion of the script is implemented (in the ./sync/file/__init__.py it seems it's just calling it but I do not see any real code.

Thanks again for your support.

Luigi

I haven't run into that error, before. It looks like it could be a bug or a missing/misconfigured library. I'd search the github bug tracker for gsync or post a new bug there and see if the developers can help track it down.
