Hi,
Two issues for me (apart from how confusing the process is and how much time it cost me digging into where my files went).
I have lost all Finder metadata, colored labels and tags. They are there in the second hidden cache copy, but not in the cloud sync location.
There is really no way to know whether a file is on my computer or not? I have about 60GB of 200GB local and everything has the now meaningless cloud icon. There is no script or function to put in place anything thats on the disk? Is there any option to do something like the recursive ls with the network off to try to get the files reinstated so I can at least know which has a local copy?
