#insync linux

Insync for Linux Beta11 was just released in the forums and includes support for Mate Desktop and XFCE. Status emblem updates and context menu support work with both Caja1.4 and Thunar1.5. We have released the Caja and Thunar plugins as open source Python scripts.

Insync on Linux can be remotely controlled from another process using DBus. This is how the standalone applets talk to Insync. Using this API you call passing a command string, and get back data in json format. The Dbus domain is “insync.rpc” and the path is “/”.

Command Line Example:      gdbus call -e -d insync.rpc -o / -m insync.rpc.call GET-STATE

DBus API

“PAUSE”

pause insync

“RESUME”

resume insync

“GET-STATE”

returns: recent changes, actions, errors, account info, paused

“ADD-ACCOUNT”

triggers the add account sequence

“EXIT”

exit insync

“OPEN-INSYNC-FOLDER”

Hey everyone!

We are glad to announce the release of beta 9 of our Linux client. You might already see the announcement if you’ve been lurking on our forum. The latest release (Linux Beta 9) resolves the MS Office formats and glibc error for debian users. Anyway, below are some of the changes you should expect:

fixed symlinks not live syncing (before you had to restart Insync for changes to be detected)

Nautilus context menu will not show outside of the Insync folder.

Applets now have a pause/resume button to start/stop Insync from downloading and uploading.

Gdocs are now downloaded in Open Document Format

Built with Debian, fixes glibc error for Debian users.

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.)

Download Insync Linux Beta 4

It's Christmas in July from Insync as we announce 2 presents today: Insync for Linux and Insync for Gmail

Insync for Linux

It works just like its Windows and Mac counterparts. Insync for Linux beta 1 was tested on Linux Mint 13 and Ubuntu 12.04 and has badging / context menu support for the Nautilus file manager.

However, it has 2 (very cool) features:

headless app -- runs on any modern Linux and removes the tray app, badging and context menu.

API -- client-side API that allows scripting and setting of custom file metadata.

Insync for Gmail

Don't you wish your attachments would automagically appear in Google Drive or Dropbox, organized by email, support versioning and subject tags for searching?

That is what Insync does but the magic is in its simplicity. To use it, just label an email (with an attachment) using @Drive or @Dropbox. That's it.

Nothing to download. Nothing to install.

It is magical.

Works with Sparrow, iOS Mail, Outlook and other clients that supports labels / folders.

Note: We are waiting for Dropbox to approve our app, which we expect soon.

Dropbox support is now available!
