Insynchq Reviews

Looks shiny but it s very amateur

I m a software developer who was looking for a background service to keep my data backed up and was fooled by the fake reviews for Insync It s supposed to maintain state between the local and the remote but it doesn t unless you open it up and start hitting buttons - not what I had in mind Most of the effort has gone onto the user interface which suggests its always syncing but if you monitor your network traffic you ll see it s not It will appear in your taskbar and use 100 of CPU making you believe it s syncing but it s not Use rclone It s harder to setup for novices but worth it as it actually synchronises your files

Deleted everything in my cloud

Deleted everything in my cloud Worked great on my linux machine Then I installed it on my windows laptop which was apparently a massive mistake I changed the default sync directory and for some reason it didn t take So I tried to change it It wouldn t take the change so I uninstalled deleted the directory and reinstalled As soon as the reinstall was done it proceeded to sync a blank directory to my cloud store and wiped everything out Crap software that really needs to be reworked Wouldn t trust in a professional environment Stick with Google client

Terrible experience

Terrible experience Canceled the contract very soon after signing It is not the program it s the people

Stay away

I ordered bikes in May when I phoned to cancel I was told that my bikes were despatched so I cannot cancel 2 months later I am yet to receive the bike or the refund On Monday after 10 days of chasing them I was told that the refund was processed only to get an email today 3 days later that this has actually been processed Overall I was lied to on all communication with the team there Be aware

Terrible product

Terrible product uses 90 CPU every time you reboot for multiple hours fails to sync 10 of the time and randomly you find it using 100 of your CPU even though you haven t changed anything in the sync folder

Don t waste your time

I ve been using Insync since they first launched and originally it was pretty good and I loved selective sync and managing multiple accounts The product just seems to have gotten worst with each release to a point now that it s mostly unusable There are a lot of bugs and glitches I make updates and it completely ignores my changes I don t trust it to manage my files anymore Just stick with the official apps and don t bother

All the time stops working with error

All the time stops working with error only helps manual moving file out of insync folder and back No any real support just stupid questions Would like to get money back

Insync deleted all of my data

Been using Insync to sync Google Drive with Ubuntu 20 04 for a year It s deleted my entire harddrive TWICE and has been a giant headache for over a year Program is full of bugs and needs to be re-installed and re-configured constantly literally about once a week with regular usage DO NOT USE THIS PROGRAM TO BACKUP SENSITIVE DATA I lost 30 years of data I wish there was an alternative for google drive usage Since there isn t I just stopped using Google Drive I still use Insync when my friends share google drive files with me but this directory is unstable and I learned to keep it isolated from the rest of my system Do not recommend I do not trust this company

Files magically dissappear

I ve been using InSync for many years and after investigation highly suspect that there is some type of issue with the software that causes files and folders to magically disappear I may be wrong- I m saying that it is a suspicion not a proven fact- and without going into detail I want to say I am fairly confident that it is an issue with InSync and that is why I am writing this review After uninstalling InSync I learned that I can achieve with Google Backup and Sync exactly what I achieved with InSync the ability to have multiple Google accounts on one computer
