Syncing sometimes duplicates files #42

Closed axel22 closed 4 years ago

axel22 commented 4 years ago

I installed VGrive today, and it's still syncing. There were multiple occurrences of duplicated files. Here is one such example:

This is followed in the log with a message like this:

DELETE LOCAL FILE: <...filename...>.pdf

Did you initially started VGrive in a folder where there were files? Or you selected/created an empty folder?

If you started the sync process in a folder where, for example, the file 14.pdf already existed, the sync process will detect the local copy of 14.pdf different from the copy from google drive.

If this is not the case (you started in an empty/new folder), maybe the library file (where VGrive store information about synced files) is corrupted. Try to log out and start the sync process in a new directory to start a "clean process".

Finnally, if the problem still persist, I will need you to tell me the exact files structure you are trying to sync. For example, in the google drive the file structure is:

Obyously I don't need the files content, only the structure of the files and their names. Because I've not been able to replicate the bug.

I installed VGrive using the debian package. The default folder was vGrive and it was created by VGrive - it did not exist before.

If you started the sync process in a folder where, for example, the file 14.pdf already existed, the sync process will detect the local copy of 14.pdf different from the copy from google drive.

There is a possibility that vGrive closed in the background, and this started happening after I restarted it (i.e. https://github.com/bcedu/VGrive/issues/43).

I will try a clean sync in a new dir if this keeps happening, and then follow up.

Did the clean installation solved the problem?

I close this issue . The newest version has solved some bugs about detecting existing files and after some test this issue looks solved. If the problem persists reopen this issue. Thanks! :smile:
