Feature request: Add option to sync for unidirectional synchronization

[rsbrux]

For the time being, since backup is still in beta, sync could be used as at least a partial workaround if it had an option for one-way synchronization (e.g. #upload only). #498

Yes !!!! It's a MUST. We do not want that deleting a file from mega could delete a file on hard disk !!!!!

Hello,

MEGAsync does not currently offer the option to one-way sync however our developers are working on this feature, which will be available in a future release. MEGAsync works as a two-way sync, meaning whatever changes (add/delete/edit) you make in the local Sync folder gets reflected in your Cloud Drive Sync folder.

Currently, as a workaround, you can achieve one-way syncing by using the manual "Upload" and "Download" features.

You can use the "Upload" feature from the MEGAsync user interface to manually upload the same file/folder to the same destination folder in your MEGA Cloud Drive.

MEGAsync will detect the files that are already there and only upload the new or modified ones. This way you can delete the folder on your computer afterward and this action won't be reflected in your Cloud Drive.

In the same way, the "Download" feature will allow you to download files/folders without syncing them. This way you can delete the folder in your Cloud Drive afterward and this action won't be reflected in your locally synced folder.

As an alternative, you can simply delete the sync path after syncing. Sync your folder and, once the synchronisation has completed, go to Settings/Preferences - Sync and manually un-tick the nominated sync path or delete it.

You can then delete the folder/file on your computer and this action won't be reflected on your Cloud Drive, or vice-versa.

I need to do this unattended. Can the megacmd commands mega-put and mega-get be used instead of the manual upload and download operations you describe?

Is there some equivalent operation to the described operation in Settings/Preferences using megacmd?
