Sync adds files to destination, but doesn't delete files

General

I have tried posting this previously, and then tried submitting it as a suspected bug - no reply to that last bit, which is disappointing for a paid app.

I have provided all the detail in my bug report - in outline, Sync will add new files to the destination (which is on Opendrive) but won’t delete files from it if the destination folder is within a higher branch. It deletes ok if syncing a single folder, but not if it’s a sub-folder within a bigger sync branch.

As it stands, it means syncing every folder separately, which is completely impractical.
I’d be interested if anyone else has experienced this?

Or even just a reply from the developer……

Thanks.

Hi,

Thank you for your patience, and sincere apologies for the delayed response.

We’ll reproduce the issue on our end using an actual OpenDrive account and get back to you with our findings.

Best regards,

Hi Pegasusphil,

Quick follow-up — I set up a fresh OpenDrive account on my side and tried to reproduce what you’re seeing (adds OK, deletes silently no-op on a nested destination, while dry-run still
shows the deletes). I haven’t been able to trigger it yet on my test account, which suggests something specific to your OpenDrive plan, folder permissions, or directory layout is
involved.

To move forward I’d really appreciate a debug-level rclone log from your side:

  1. Settings → Global Settings → Embedded Rclone → Logging Configuration
  2. Turn Enable rclone Logging on
  3. Set Log Level to DEBUG & Restart embedded rclone
  4. Run the failing sync once (parent / nested destination, where deletes don’t propagate). If it’s not too much trouble, please also run the working single-subfolder sync right after, in
    the same log — that side-by-side comparison would tell me a lot.
  5. Attach the rclone.log here, or DM it if you’d prefer. Credentials shouldn’t appear in the log, but feel free to redact any paths you don’t want public.

If you can also share the rough structure (e.g. Local:/Backup/… → OpenDrive:Backup/…) and your OpenDrive plan type, that’ll help me narrow things down faster.

Thanks,
