![]() Your bookmarks’ associated thumbnail images Your bookmarks’ metadata, such as name and location Not all files and folders listed below will be relevant for all users. Go to About Opera, or go to opera:about/ to find the exact paths for your profile and data folders. Opera recommends backing up your files before upgrading as well. It is recommended that you regularly back up your most important Opera files. Hence why I’m reading about all this stupidity.Crashes and issues Back up your Opera files a useful BACKUP for when you glitch out and overwrite the wrong file (like I just did). ![]() There needs to be a latency option if you’re gonna refuse to allow versioning so that the “continuously sync” is not within milliseconds, but rather a configurable time frame, like 30 minutes or a day or something, so that the backup is actually just that. and TWO: there is no way to keep any versions of files, so if you accidentally delete something, or overwrite a file and want to revert, you’d better have DAMN quick hands or yank the ethernet cable (if you’re not on wireless) otherwise Google will DESTROY your backup for you. ONE: it still spends a ridiculous amount of time doing it’s scanning thing every so often. This allowed it to actually complete backing up, but there are two problems still with this option. I unchecked this option, mapped the USB drive to a drive letter and then selected it in the “choose folders to continuously back up” dialog. It spends most of its time scanning and scanning and scanning again. It will clog your entire CPU for months on end, and never, EVER actually coomplete the simple task of backing up the drive. You cannot use the “USB devices & SD” cards option with any real amount of data. ![]() So in the end I’m still puzzled why File Stream is syncing all the time. This hints towards Google File Stream using the “Listener” approach. When you make a change, let’s say upload a new file for instance, the file appears almost instantly locally and online. What actually makes even less sense is that the behaviour I experience with Google File Stream corresponds with the “Listener” programming design pattern. This eliminates the need for batch processing which requires more time as a batch has to go through all the files whereas this approach only processes files with changes. This doesn’t really make sense if you program the tool using best practices for this type of functionality.īased on the explantation is sounds like Google is using a “batch” processing approach where each time a batch is executed it goes over ALL the files both locally and online and looks for changes and then makes the appropriate changes based on the differences found.Ī better approach for this functionality is to actually use triggers and listeners where Google File Stream “listens” to changes both online and local changes that are sent out by triggers to which Google File Stream listens to. If you have any Google File Stream or Google Backup and Sync questions/issues, the Google Drive support team can be reached at Google File Stream does not actually download any files to your computer in order to sync them, it is simply mirroring files so they show up in Google File Stream for easy accessibility through the desktop app. We asked how long does it take to sync 800GB of files from Google Drive to Google File Stream, and they told us about 2 hours. The Google Drive support person told us that the Google File Stream was created from the idea their customer had where they wanted to have access to their Google Drive files without taking up space on their computer. We asked why is this? They told us that this is because Google File Stream is continually looking to see if any of the files on Google Drive have been updated, and is syncing them regardless if they were updated since the last sync or not. ![]() They told us that this is normal because Google File Stream will always and forever be syncing files that are on Google Drive over and over even if they have not been updated since the last time they were synced. ![]() We asked Google Drive support why it was taking over a month of 24/7 syncing to sync 2GB of files? This is done by right-clicking on each folder/file – going down to Drive File Stream – and selecting Online Only. We have 800GB of files on our Google Drive, so we only wanted to sync 2GB of these files with Google File Stream on one of our Mac’s, and for the rest of the files (798GB) we selected the “Online Only” option. Why is Google File Stream Syncing Forever? ![]()
