Folder structure is failed during uploading to google drive

FlyInDaSkye started this chat 6 months ago

I noticed that when the automatic upload to Google Drive is finished, the folder structure on the cloud is different from one I have on the local storage. For example, I can have a hip-hop folder with 5 songs and 1 subfolder of oldschool with 10 songs on the computer and this structure on the cloud becomes 1 hip-hop folder with 5 songs and 1 separate oldschool folder with 10 songs (nesting was not replicated).

I assume that flattern folder pattern is applied during cloud upload. Is there any way to turn this feature off during cloud upload? If not I suggest to add a notification or info banner that will warn that folder structure won't be replicated (and update the FAQ section on website accordingly, because right not it's confusing).

I used desktop app on Macbook with M1 apple chip.

Unlike Dropbox and OneDrive, Google Drive does not automatically create nested folder trees from the track's filePath during upload. Therefore, MIXO has to make multiple requests to first create folders to upload the tracks to. For this reason and in the interest of mitigating excessive requests that can lead to temporary IP-blocking, only the parent folder for the track is created.
