Feature request - Add sync function

Open MrDini123 opened this issue 9 years ago • 5 comments

Hi!

I am using this program on a NAS and it is really cool for uploading/downloading a single file. But I am missing the sync function...

Is there a way to implement this function?

Thanks a lot!

I am looking for such feature as well.

@odeke-em what Do You think about that? Could be added to the drive source?

I would really appreciate it!

What kind of a "sync" functionality did you have in mind. Let me try to spec out something just by guessing:

  1. drive sync should compare the files on local and remote file systems and then pick the latest modified versions of those files (using timestamps, etc.).
  2. If a file is added to either local or remote file system drive sync should copy it to the other one.
  3. If a file is deleted from either local or remote files system drive sync should delete it to the other one.

Is this close to what you meant? Are there missing bits?

BTW: I don't think adding this functionality to drive is trivial, but I'm pretty sure @odeke-em would consider pull requests.

The first version is nearest to my idea. I am looking fo a two way syncronization with my NAS and my GDrive Cloud.

Any news on sync support?
