Insync blocking files due to Anti-Virus scan. (lemmy.world)

Hey all,

So I just migrated my Surface to Linux and I'm trying to get access to my Onedrive files. I'm using Onedriver right now but due to it reaching out for the files every time, I don't seem to have the ability to download them locally.

I found Insync and, although it's missing the files-on-demand feature, I think I could still get used to it. But when I sync my notes, Insync blocks them due to detecting malware.

I work in cyber security and my notes contain code snippets of malware so, it's not wrong, but I need to turn off that scanning feature. I can't find in the program where to do it. I posted on their support forums but haven't received a response yet.

I was curious if anyone here knew of how to turn that off? When my Surface was a Windows box, I just added an exception into Defender for the folder my notes are stored in but I don't seem to be able to do that in Insync.

Additionally, if anyone has an alternative to Insync that works, I'd be interested in hearing about it.

Thanks
