GoSync v0.4 comes with a lot of new and good features which are missing in the previous versions. The following are the new features that are added:

  1. Select a set of folders to be synced.
    The previous versions sync the whole root directory. While it might be okay for little used space, it is a big problem for heavily used space. All files in the root directory are synced. Selections are only for directories. Application status with
    sync paused. It gives time to user to select the directories to be synced.
  2. File rename, move and deletion is now supported.
    This is the biggest feature missing in the previous releases. Now files (including directories) can be renamed and moved around in the local sync directory and the arrangements will be reflected in remote drive. The files that are deleted from remote are deleted locally and vice versa.
  3. Show progress while categorical usage is being calculated.
    For heavily used drive space, the previous version won't show any updates. It might feel like that application is hung. With v0.4, the progress is shown in percent.
  4. Fast start.
    The calculated categorical usage is now cached and used for quick launch next time. This will reduce the startup time for heavily used drives.
  5. Limited Multiple User Suport.
    Each authenticated user's data is synced in a different directory. The previous versions used to create "gosync-drive" directory. This directory is now renamed to "Google Drive" directory. The "Google Drive" directory then has another directory under it. It is named after currently logged in drive user. This directory is used for all the syncs of current drive user. One running instance can handle only one user.
