All of the folders are empty?

It looks like the OAuth setup failed for some reason. It sometimes fails on Android and often when repeating, it works. Can you try again and see if it helped? The alternative is to setup on desktop and then import config to S3Drive, but that assumes you have Rclone installed: https://rclone.org/downloads/
Download rclone binaries for your OS.

I had to do it multiple times in order for it to succeed, should I delete and try again?

If it works, then no need to delete unless you want to play with it. We're aware of this problem, but there is no clear fix path just yet.

I deleted it and re-authenticated and now it's just spinning.

Hi again, We've actually found the issue regarding the initial setup failing on Android from time to time. Regarding spinner, did you give it all required permission on the browser setup screen? Do you have lots of media files? On my end directory retrieval is almost instant and looks like this, however my dataset is rather small.

Hi again, our most recent release improves initial setup process, so it shouldn’t really fail like before. Regarding spinner I was wondering if you still have this issue?
