How to ensure one-way sync? #136
|
I don't trust OneDriveGUI entirely yet, so I'd like to know how to ensure that it's solely performing a one-way sync — after all, if the synchronization process breaks somehow, it might sync the breakage back to the server. |

If you are unsure how the sync will behave with specific settings, you can enable the Dry run option, which will just simulate the sync process without actually moving any files around.

The GUI will use --download-only when you enable 'Download only' in the GUI. If you hover your mouse cursor over any GUI option, you'll get a basic tool tip. For more details, please check the onedrive client documentation. |
