Hello ?
Holidays time ?

Hi itdaboyz,

Sorry for being late. I hope that we can pass through the extreme test of 400,000 files sync but over the past few weeks, the syncing itself takes time and we did also find bugs with it. So we continuously improve it and now the newest version (already version 31) is in beta stage and under intensive testing.

If you are interested in testing this beta candidate, please kindly let me know and I hope that we can release the official version very soon.

I tried and it syncs but not everything. The photos in the Google Photos folder are not synced, only the folders names. I'll explain.
The photos I take with my phones are automatically going in Google Photos folder on Google Drive (see here : https://support.google.com/photos/answe ... roid&hl=en).
So in this Google Photos folder, I have years folder : 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, ... in each of them are the photos I took in this year.

Now, if I try to sync the Google Photos folder (only this really matters to me), the folder 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, ... are here, but they are empty.

Another thing, when I choose to sync only this folder, the sync take the 1st level of data anyway. Let's say this like this : my drive architecture is like this :
Drive/Google Photos/
Drive/Credit/
Drive/Divers/
And I have some files in Drive/
I want only Drive/Google Photos/ to sync but the sync take all the Drive/ files anyway. Drive/Credit and Drive/Divers are excluded, but not the files in Drive/

I hope this is clear and you can take a look at this !

The Google Photos folder shown in Google Drive just allows you to view the photos. It is a different storage space. Unless you copy and paste the files from Google Photos and store them in "My Drive", it will be separate from Google Drive.

Yet they are synced by the official Google Drive app on PC or Android, so I think there is a way to do it.
