Our Insync for Linux Beta 4 is here!
Hi Everyone!
Last July, we rolled out our Insync for Linux and we are very glad that most of the feedback we got was positive. We’re very thankful for all the forum users who helped us test the past betas of our Linux client. Today, we are very excited to announce beta 4 of Insync for Linux!
Looking at all the different DEB and RPM packages in the Beta4 forum post, you are already thinking - when are these guys going to get around to setting up a PPA to “apt-get” from? Its coming soon, we are working on it now.
Thanks to Mark of nwlinux.com.You can now install Insync using apt-get.
Add the following source to /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://insync.nwlinux.us /
Install command: sudo apt-get install insync-beta-ubuntu
It was only tested uding Ubuntu 12.04 only.
Insync Applet - Linuxmint - Cinnamon Desktop
Our goal is to provide support for all the popular desktops: Unity, Gnome3, Cinnamon, KDE and XFCE. Running “insync” with no arguments defaults to the Unity desktop, this requires AppIndicator (an Ubuntu standard) so it will work all the Ubuntu variants like: Xubuntu, Lubuntu, etc. To use Insync with Gnome3 or Cinnamon, install the Javascript applet, and run “insync --gnome”
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Options
insync --gnome
Run insync with Gdbus server that connects to either Javascript applet for Gnome or Cinnamon.
insync --kde
Run insync in KDE mode.
insync --kde --plasmoid
Run insync in KDE mode and display recent file updates in the Insync Plasmoid.
This allows you to see badge (emblem) updates on recently changed files.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Advanced Options
insync --use-gevent-inotify
Run insync with Inotify gevent loop. This is most likely slower than the new default threaded loop.
insync --allow-dot-files
Run insync and sync files that start with the “.” character. (useful for github hidden files, etc.)
