+### 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"
