Files with suffix "safeBackup-0001"

[AleixMT]

Hello, I'm using this software inside a container to sync files with a Sharepoint Drive and I have found that when I delete some files from the cloud, a file in my local system appears as original_filename-safeBackup-0001.pdf. I'm not completely sure when this appears, but it seems that deleting from the Cloud file system has something to do with it.

This file breaks my application, as it does not have the expected name.

Is this fault of the One Drive client or from Sharepoint? is there any way that I can tell the client to not download or create safebackups? I want to have exactly the same files in my local than in my cloud, and i do not want to upload.

this is my config:

sync_dir = "/onedrive/data"
drive_id = "$(cat $SECRETS_DIR/SHAREPOINT_DRIVE_ID)"
skip_dir = "SCANNER"
skip_dir = "$(cat $SECRETS_DIR/SHAREPOINT_FOLDER)/_app"
skip_dir = "$(cat $SECRETS_DIR/SHAREPOINT_FOLDER)/_templates"
skip_dir = "$(cat $SECRETS_DIR/SHAREPOINT_FOLDER)/_output"
skip_dir = "$(cat $SECRETS_DIR/SHAREPOINT_FOLDER)/Demos"
skip_dir = "$(cat $SECRETS_DIR/SHAREPOINT_FOLDER)/Docs"
skip_dir = "$(cat $SECRETS_DIR/SHAREPOINT_FOLDER)/examples"
skip_dir = "$(cat $SECRETS_DIR/SHAREPOINT_FOLDER)/parametres"

log_dir = "/onedrive/logs/"

sync_dir_permissions = "755"
sync_file_permissions = "644"

resync = "true"
resync_auth = "true"

And this is my compose:

  onedrive:
    image: docker.io/driveone/onedrive:edge
    userns_mode: keep-id
    volumes:
      - ./service/onedrive_conf:/onedrive/conf
      - ./service/onedrive_data:/onedrive/data
      - ./service/onedrive_logs:/onedrive/logs
    environment:
      - ONEDRIVE_DOWNLOADONLY=1
      - ONEDRIVE_CLEANUPLOCAL=1
    labels:
      io.containers.autoupdate: "image"
    restart: unless-stopped
    networks:
      - justicier_net
    healthcheck:
      test: sh -c '[ -s /onedrive/conf/items.sqlite3-wal ]'
      interval: 60s
      timeout: 5s
      retries: 2

Any ideas?

Please enable verbose logging to help determine your cause.

Please read the documentation!

I have this options related to this:

download_only = "true"
cleanup_local_files = "true"

Basically, I want to have the same state of the cloud in my local file system (unidirectional). I thought that cleanup_local_files was enough for keeping the exact state in local than in the cloud, but it is not, since this backup files appear from time to time. I have read the documentations but if I'm asking for help is because I'm not sure which options I need to activate to obtain this behaviour. Thank you.

download_only = "true"
cleanup_local_files = "true"

Those options are for what you are intending to do.

Your safeBackup files however are being compounded by your use of:

resync = "true"
resync_auth = "true"

Please read: https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive/blob/master/docs/client-architecture.md#file-conflict-handling---default-operational-modes as to how this operates.

To avoid the creation of safe backup files, you can use the option 'bypass_data_preservation'. Data loss may occur in this scenario.

@AleixMT

resync = "true"
resync_auth = "true"

Please also stop doing this ... this is a major contributor to your issue. Every time you are starting the container, you are blowing away what the client thinks what is insync, thus, has no idea what to do with files that have changed, so, by default the client makes a backup copy of your file so you do not experience data loss.

Please stop this resync by default practice.

Yes, I see that my problem with "safeBackup" files is coming from this config, as I can't see them anymore. i think my problem is solved and you can close the discussion.
