See what folders/ files are being synced from Selective Sync

[threebythreeandsix]

I have got another MBP for work, however is limited in size, thus i have to use Selective Sync for large folders.

Is there any way to (i) run some type of commands/ or (ii) view an output/ file or (iii) UI that shows which files, paths are being synced as opposed to the ones which are selectively synced?

Some of my folders are many levels deep. I can only compare this with Dropbox (paid)/ OneDrive (business) as this is what i am trying to move away from.

In general of course it is possible if you are good with Linuc commands and terminal. For example you can use that command if you are in the root directory:

ls -lR | grep .extension

find | grep .extension

And with a little bit more power:

Works on Linux and Mac. And even on Windows if you've installed the Windows Subsystem for Linux.

find . -type f | grep -v .rsls* | awk -F"/" '{print $2"\t"$3"\t"$4}' | sort | uniq

 

What are we doing here.  Get all files from "." directory. Filter all files that don't have the extension ".rsls*" (other files are synced). Print out the second (the first is always a dot) and the third and fourth part. The delimiter is a TAB. After that we will sort it and only get unique. The $n vars are your depth, so in this case you are printing out three parts of the path beginning with the second.

jd84/ Gane - this is awesome

This would be good at the UI; the rest of the population like me is too dumb to run these types of commands. Keeping it KISS would get more people using Resilio
