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 syncedUnshared 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.
