About Insync
Insync syncs Google Drive, OneDrive, SharePoint and Dropbox accounts to a desktop computer and integrates with the system file manager. It handles multiple accounts and multiple cloud services from one app, with selective sync, one-way sync, ignore rules and the option to sync any local folder rather than a single fixed one.
It can also sync external and network drives, SD cards and thumb drives. Linux gets particular attention, with packages for Ubuntu, Debian and Fedora and a headless version for servers.
