Survey from current users: any problems

[SRGOM]

Hello,

Sorry if this isn't the best place but the last time I used a onedrive client for Linux (not this one) it gave me a lot of issues. Can some current users chime in about how well this works for them?

Hi!
So I'm experimenting with this repo right now and have some things I can comment on. Generally it works well. Installation was pretty straight forward and adding it to systemd services was also trivial. I am finding that there is a bottleneck with large amounts of files irrelevant of size. It was taking more than 30 minutes to sync 1000+ files that added up to roughly 14 MB in one folder. If this could be addressed then I think abraunegg's fork would be about perfect!

The issue I'm describing is actually referenced in an open issue from august. I believe it has to do with the fact that this program doesn't have a lot of parallel support at the moment.

Thank you so much for answering! My biggest worry is data duplication (observed in my previous onedrive-client) or loss. From the other open issues and from your comment, I gather that there are no bugs in this code, only certain things that could be better.

Thank you again!

If you had specific concerns I would have been able to answer them rather than wait for other users to comment.

Data duplication & data loss - where the file names kept of being appended - is one major bug that has been resolved for a long time in this fork - certainly suggest you look at the https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive/releases link to review what has been changed / fixed / added.

One option which you potentially may be able to utilise until you are 100% comfortable is the --dry-run switch - which - will do as it implies - tell you what would have occurred during client operational activities.

Thanks providing feedback for this.

In terms of "slow upload sync" - this is on the cards - see #175 and #232 for resolution. Assistance / patches are always also welcome.

@SRGOM (disclaimer: I also write code for this onedrive client)
I used the original client for some time, and it was extremely buggy. With the current one here I am syncing permanently about 100G and more between several computers and the cloud.

I'm having trouble getting files in the sync_dir from getting sync'ed in either direction. Files in the folders sync in both directions just fine.

This is probably a configuration issue. Here is my sync_list:
bin
Templates
Subversion
Documents
Public

and here is my config
sync_dir = "/home/geoffrey"
skip_dir = ".cache|.gnupg|.pki|./Desktop|./dlang|./Downloads|./Music|./onedrive|./Pictures|./Videos"
enable_logging = "true"

@ga2k can you please send the full config?

Thank you @wertydoo @norbusan @ga2k for answering my questions!

Thanks @abraunegg for maintaining this! The problem was not in this client but in another but glad to know that these issues are not in the present code. I look forward to trying this as soon as i can.

Thanks again, all.

Closing this issue.
