I believe this issue is critical. Because I am not getting any error or warning or anything information that might suggest something is not getting synced. It shows completely synced. That means I am not sure we can trust the app to sync everything.
Files inside the proprietary macOS photo library folders are not directly exposed to other programs reading those libraries. Unless we find a hacky workaround there is no way to read it with normal system calls (.readdir).
@Dwynr
They have faced similar issues here https://github.com/borgbackup/borg/issues/5303
Or is it related to Filen desktop app permissions by any chance? Anyway, have you folks explored it? Mac users will have that as a very important use case because that is how iCloud photos are saved on Mac and that is the way to backup those files.
I am syncing the entire
~/Pictures
Mac folder to a Filen remote folder in "local backup" sync mode.Inside it there is a folder
Photos Library.photoslibrary
that does show inside the remote folder but it has no other files folders synced inside it. It just showsNo files or folders uploaded yet
.~/Pictures
has other sub folders, including a very similar sub-folderPhoto Booth Library
folder, and these get synced as expected.I have tried pausing and resuming the sync. Adding the
~/Pictures
folder sync again after removing. Nothing works. I have not added any kind of exclusion config either.Unsynced
Photos Library.photoslibrary
folder:Correctly synced
Photo Booth Library
