@JPB_9876 rclone-browser (rclone+gui) works pretty well: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rclone-browser

Alas, as others here have said, version 3.x is an absolute disaster... The comments at Insync Forum illustrate the point. While as a non-technical user I'm grateful for ericdubois' hard work on this, this version unfortunately does NOT synchronise files. I started with a clean slate, only to end up with multiple double ups and no-shows. Totally unreliable. I would dearly love to go back to version 1.5.x because I never had any issues with it, but no matter what I do, it won't run in any shape or form. Exits with the same crash teacher4711 described earlier. I guess it'll have to be rclone again...

Just so you know, Insync depends on Python v3 these days. See here for confirmation: https://www.insynchq.com/blog/insync-3/

I'm seeing the same build failures with aurto (which uses a clean chroot via aurutils).

Also (and this is more of a personal conjecture), given the manual migration steps involved in going from 1.x to 3.x (as per Insync's emails), I think it would've been better to have a message explaining the manual migration steps required when the package is updated in pacman, perhaps even going so far as to make 3.x into a separate AUR package (though probably a little late for that now that this one is updated).

EDIT [23-Dec-2019] - Removed link and reference to snippet of error that is no longer available.

Cannot build in clean chroots (extra-x86_64-build)

install: cannot stat '../insync@.service': No such file or directory

I use Cinnamon DE. The program crashes although I carefully cleaned my home directory from any insync related file as you wrote.

I think insync-headless is missing n the package: set 19 17:27:09 archlinux systemd[56964]: insync.service: Failed at step EXEC spawning /usr/bin/insync-headless: No such file or direct>

@erikdubois Thank you for updating the package, I for one appreciate it. Might not be that helpful but, to confirm, I am having none of the reported problems on Manjaro using KDE. I don't get the crash described for "local selective sync". So far, everything seems to work as it should. Will report any problems.

You can now install version 3.0.19.40421. It WILL sync your documents. However depending on the desktop you are on you will be able to change your directory, where to put your sync. ALWAYS start with deleting all insync related files in ~/.config and even in ~/.cache just to be save. If you have issues with selecting another folder then do not change it. The insync folder will become ~/Insync/<yourmailaccount>/Google Drive/ Let us figure it out together what needs to be changed in the PKGBUILD in order to make the button "local selective sync" work on any desktop.

I just installed v3.0.19 modifyng the PKGBUILD od erikdubois. But the program still crashes when I click on "local selective sync" as I mentioned earlier. This bug is not present in elementary OS.
