Is it possible to run `update-mime-database /usr/share/mime/` and `update-desktop-database` as part of the install? Doing so will correctly configure file managers to open Google docs.

Insync installs an autostart desktop file at ~/.config/autostart/insync.desktop: [Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Type=Application Name=Insync GenericName=Insync Comment=Launch Insync Icon=insync Categories=Network; Exec=insync start TryExec=insync Terminal=false X-GNOME-Autostart-Delay=3 For users who use a DE, isn't this more reliable than using the systemd user unit?

Thanks so much, orschiro. The PKGBUILD has been updated.

@xzy3186 One minor improvement for the service file: - ExecStart=/usr/bin/insync start + ExecStart=/usr/bin/insync start --synchronous-full This makes sqlite transactions safer and can prevent database corruption. I just faced this issue myself because I was running out of space whilst Insync was syncing. This would have not occurred with the synchronous flag.

@xzy3186 Unfortunately I cannot comment on any DE issues since I am using plain Openbox and with the new service file everything is working fine. Has anyone else tested the new service file?

@orschiro Another point, insync will be terminated if I re-login my DE. I am not surprised by the result since restarting DE is independent to the systemd. Just let you know in case you have not noticed it.

@orschiro I have the same problem as it was that insync will not start with gnome-shell after booting my laptop. I have to do systemctl restart insync@xxx to make it. Unfortunately I am not sure how it behave with other DE. But stopping and restarting insync via systemd work well. If you have no objection, I will update the script with the next update of insync.

@xzy3186 I think I managed to come up with an improved service file that allows you to successfully start/stop Insync. Can you please test it as well and include it if there are no further issues? [Unit] Description=Insync After=local-fs.target network.target [Service] Environment=DISPLAY=:0 Type=oneshot RemainAfterExit=yes ExecStart=/usr/bin/insync start ExecStop=/usr/bin/insync quit User=%I [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target

@all How can we further improve the service file so that `systemctl stop insync@<user>.service` actually stops insync?

@orschiro Thanks for the investigation. I updated the script without modifying the release number.
