Hello again, I'm using S3Drive 1.17.7 with Proton Drive on Ubuntu 22.04 (installed with .deb). I can see on the FAQs online that since the 1.17 release, I'm supposed to have offline access, and I have purchased the Ultimate plan. However, I just tried turning off the internet and the mounted folder stopped working (it gets into "Loading" state), so I'd like to ask for help understanding whether this is a feature that is just not available for Linux, or whether there's something else I need to do differently. I couldn't find much information online, and going around the app's settings, I also don't seem to find anything either. Thanks! (edited)

Hi @Tiago Our Offline relates to this: https://features.s3drive.app/posts/46/offline-licensing-46 which is the ability to use S3Drive features without S3Drive account and activate it offline. This allows users to use S3Drive on internet-restricted environment, LAN or corporate networks, ideally combined with in-house storage solutions. If you want a directory that's available offline, then you can either set it up using Sync or Two-way sync. That would keep whole dataset offline and only sync changes.
S3Drive can be used in a self-hosted mode, being fully offline. The challenge is that paid users (Ultimate, Business) might need 100% offline solutio

I see, sorry I misunderstood it. I've been trying to activate the sync function but the app always closes a bit after starting syncing. In settings I activated the option "Debug logs", and I was able to find that s3drive is installed in my laptop under /usr/local/lib/s3drive/; however, I'm not able to find where these logs are being stored such that I can share with you, could you please help? Thanks!

Sync specific logs shall be present in Logs within the specific sync entry.
