It’s Google’s answer to Dropbox. It doesn’t have the relatively high cost of Dropbox, but it also lacks the polish of Dropbox. No surprise there, since they probably can’t pay as many people to work on it. The one that most recently bit me is that if you move the entire Drive folder, then re-launch Google Drive, it won’t let you point it at the new location, complaining that the directory isn’t empty. It demands to download everything again, running you into bandwidth caps / throttling. It wouldn’t surprise me if Fossil-on-GDrive didn’t work as well as Fossil-on-Dropbox, which is known to be less than perfect. Mr Boehme, have you considered hosting your Fossil repository either on ChiselApp or your own cheap VPS? Then you’re not relying on the cloud disk syncing mechanism to do the right thing with the Fossil blobs. You’re allowing Fossil to do intelligent syncing. ChiselApp is free: http://chiselapp.com/ If you don’t like giving someone else a copy of your repository, you can find full-root bare VPSes for $5-10 per month. You can lock that VPS down, or run it as a public web/email server. _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
