Summary
eDrive suddenly starts syncing again all files, using all storage space
The problem
Steps to reproduce
So far, we don't understand the scenario when it happens.
Hypothesis:
- it could be a consequence of the ToS deployment (https://gitlab.e.foundation/e/backlog/-/issues/6947)
- which could explain why some users reported full storage usage recently (with sometime issues https://gitlab.e.foundation/e/backlog/-/issues/6969)
- the user can't see any
Sync trash
directory
What is the current behavior?
On 2023-05-29:
- eDrive starts syncing again all files
- it used most (all?) of the device storage
- uploaded files don't have the correct timestamp (https://gitlab.e.foundation/e/os/backlog/-/issues/942)
- the /e/OS Gallery app show pictures twice
On 2023-11-18
- data consumption for eDrive during a one month period is huge: up to 2TB
- some pictures taken on the phone take forever to be synced to the cloud
What is the expected correct behavior?
eDrive:
- syncs files only once,
- is able to sync instantly pictures taken with the phone,
- uses a reasonable amount of data.
