Insync 3 integrates its trash feature with the user’s system trash folder. Synced files that are remotely deleted or unshared with you will go to your system trash (Trash
for Mac/Linux and Recycle Bin
for Windows).
What are the two types of Insync deletes on a user’s machine?
- Remote: i.e. If
Folder A
is deleted onMachine 1
, it gets deleted fromMachine 2
if it's synced - Unshared with you: i.e.
Folder A
is owned byUser B
and shared toUser A
. IfFolder A
is synced onUser A
's computer,User B
unsharing it with him will lead toFolder A
being deleted onUser A
's computer
What if you delete a synced file/folder from your filesystem, file manager or an app you use?
- Insync will detect the change and sync it (i.e. delete the file/folder) on Google Drive or OneDrive
- Insync doesn't have control whether it goes to your system trash (
Trash
orRecycle Bin
)
How can files be retrieved after deletion?
- Users can browse the deletes in their file manager’s trash and recover if needed.
- For troubleshooting or investigating deletes, users can go to their Google Drive/OneDrive trash or local system trash.
Note: Users can empty their system trash to recover space.
