Does sync mean two-way-sync? #102

Closed ct2034 closed 1 year ago

ct2034 commented 2 years ago

The description says, this syncs files to cloud services. But from reading the code, it only seems to download them. Am I missing something?

Hi Christian see #100

ct2034 commented 2 years ago

Hi fsantini. I think #100 deletes files from the device when they are no longer in the cloud. What I am asking for is uploading files that are created or changed on the device to the cloud.

This is not possible, right? Because then I think the term sync is a little misleading. It is more of a download. ;-)

fsantini commented 2 years ago

Ah yes you are right. There is no upload. It's a one-way sync ;) Upload could potentially be implemented with rclone (see #35 ) but we didn't end up going that way, because it would mean fundamentally changing how the scripts currently operate.

ct2034 commented 2 years ago

Oh nice, rclone seems very powerful. I will look into that

If you have any good ideas on how to make the rclone stuff better, please make PR (or even just a comment) @ct2034 . I have on to-do list so far:

  1. Make the rclone binary download happen at install time (vs bundling it) from the fixed rclone URL
  2. Update the ARM rclone binary (taken care of by (1) really)
  3. Put each cloned "thing" into a subdirectory (so you can reasonably have >1 RCLONE foo line)

If you wanted to add to that list (like, figure out a sane 2-way sync), or implement any of those, it'd be appreciated!

This feature would be greatly appreciated for annotating PDF documents. With Zotero you can use Zotfile to send a specific PDF to a folder, this folder is synchronized with nextcloud and appears on my Kobo thanks to this plugin. Unfortunately, all the highlights I make on the KoReader app are not synced back to Zotero because I realised that the sync is only one way :confused:
