SugarSync is a cloud service that enables active synchronization of files across computers and other devices for file backup, access, syncing, and sharing.
Setup notes
Section titled “Setup notes”In CloudMount you add this drive from the Add drive screen, and the wizard asks for the options listed under Options. The notes below come from rclone’s setup guide.
Modification times and hashes
Section titled “Modification times and hashes”SugarSync does not support modification times or hashes, therefore
syncing will default to --size-only checking. Note that using
--update will work as rclone can read the time files were uploaded.
Restricted filename characters
Section titled “Restricted filename characters”SugarSync replaces the default restricted characters set except for DEL.
Invalid UTF-8 bytes will also be replaced, as they can’t be used in XML strings.
Deleting files
Section titled “Deleting files”Deleted files will be moved to the “Deleted items” folder by default.
However you can supply the flag --sugarsync-hard-delete or set the
config parameter hard_delete = true if you would like files to be
deleted straight away.
