hi there
Is the sync enabled, or has it mysteriously switched off?

Sync is enabled “on” using the AmazonDrive Admin page. Could’ve sworn there was a green dot bottom right of the Amazon icon, it’s now blue? Maybe I imagined this but can anyone confirm if it conveys any particular state? Update.. scrap that.. it just went green so I assume it was syncing & now done.
i tried creating a new share & syncing it, it didn’t work, nothing I put in there made its way to amazonDrive/prime photo. The only folder that works is the original AmazonCloudDrive share which operates completely as expected.
I tried moving all my manually sorted folders back into the AmazonCloudDrive folder but it still didn’t upload the contents to amazon? I’ve checked user/group/permissions.. they’re identical to the stuff that appears to work. I’m stuck. Is there a way of starting everything all over, deleting whatever database readynas/amazon have & re upload everything?
