Sync after permissions update

[khanc]

I changed sync_dir_permissions and sync_file_permissions. How do I make onedrive update existing permissions to the new ones. I tried --synchronize --resync but it did not work.

Of course --resync will not work for that sort of action. The configuration options 'sync_dir_permissions' & 'sync_file_permissions' only change the permissions for new files that are downloaded from OneDrive, --resync does not re-download existing files.

To do what you want to do, you need to research chmod and chown and recursively change the permissions and ownership on the existing files and folders manually. That is out of scope for this client.

Note: The default permissions are the most secure for your files on your system.
