#3Nice, but what we really want is a way to do it automatically, like Dropbox.
I know Burcu Dogan was against automatic sync because it isn't 100% reliable in every case, but frankly she's wrong. That isn't a sufficiently bad con not to use it compared to the pro - it's automatic.

With a bit of bad luck, automatic sync easily turns into a mess (see the trainwreck that is Apple Music; even the most devoted fanboys loathe it).

#5If you're running into this:
google.golang.org/cloud/compute/metadata/metadata.go:54: unknown net.Dialer field 'KeepAlive' in struct literal
then it's supposed to be fixed per https://github.com/odeke-em/drive/issues/223, but it's not working for me and neither do the workarounds. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Seems to be an issue with Go 1.2.2, upgrading to 1.4.2 fixes it.

I appreciate that it's starting to get off topic, but in my experience the problems with Apple Music isn't related to whether the sync is automatic or not.
The issues that I run into are UX issues (not sync related), and what I've heard is problems with what the server does once a sync is finished (automatic or not).

With big enough amount of bad luck, anything can turns into a mess. OTOH sync (two-way sync) if done right can work pretty well and is quite useful in the real world. I am saying it as the developer of Autosync for Google Drive android app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ttxapps.dr...)

It's exciting seeing these types of tools generally being written in Go.
