# eDrive



#### Developer(s):

eDrive is a persitent application provided by default with /e/OS.

It synchronizes user's data files to /e/Cloud or a self-hosted cloud.



### Install

## Install



Since the application is persistent, you won't be able to reinstall the app with a regular `adb install -r` command. You will have to `pm uninstall foundation.e.drive` before reinstalling the application.

### Notes:

To disable All the synchronisation, go into your account and disable BOTH: "application settings" AND "Photos and videos"

## Map of synced directories



#### Actu:

Fix account's deletion

Fix disabled sync in account's settings: I update DB, so it might cause issue after update. One solution in this case is to remove your account and add it again.

All remote directories are created by eDrive if needed.



#### TODO:

This is the current pending goal List:

## Notes



+ Handle lack of space localy

+ Issue # 0 : apps crash if request are too long and fails because of that

+ Add Unit test

+ ScheduleInitialization while it hasn't run completely or user hasn't disable both sync type.

### How it works



When you register an /e/account the synchronization is enabled by default.

The synchronization is done on `ACTION_SCREEN_OFF` intent if the last

sync is greater than 15 min. Otherwise a sync is scheduled each 30 min.



### Settings



To enable/disable the synchronisation, go into your account settings:



* Application settings (Rom settings)

* Pictures and videos (Images, Movies, Music, Ringtones, Documents and Podcasts)



# Interrobility



eDrive can also receive broadcast intent for forcing the synchronization.



```bash

adb shell am broadcast -a foundation.e.drive.action.FORCE_SYNC

```
