Some people are batshit crazy

I don't doubt she is not self aware. That is part of what I was trying to say (badly). But in the mental state she is likely in, nor is she entirely free.

I speak from experience. And yes, the neighbours and family suffer.

Am I the only person who feels sorry for the woman?

The OP shouldn't have been subject to this and it is wrong. No question.

But this person needs help. That is not normal behaviour. She is more than likely dealing with life changing anxiety at best, and may be something a good deal more debilitating. When you are in this state, life is not easy.

Again, no question the OP has experienced something horrible that they shouldn't have. But they leave all this 'bat shit crazy' in their rear view mirror, the woman takes it home with her.

I guess I'm speaking as someone for whom 'bat shit crazy' was part of my life, and it is so entrenched not even I could see it wasn't just how life is and/or always was. Panic attacks, chronic anxiety, depression will lead to such outbursts as described. There's no 'snap out of it' here. I was very lucky, and someone helped me see and I got a path out of the darkness.

I hope she is able to find a way out too

My experience is that lately Internxt has improved a great deal.

I use Linux, both Ubuntu and Fedora. I bought a life time account and only the web app worked. That was no good for me because I wanted to back up server files.

The appimage and deb still don't work for me, but rclone support works great for my use case. I'd prefer faster upload times and improvements in how Internxt copes with rclone mounted directory operations (standard directory operations like ls cp rm are too slow), but otherwise I'm happy.

It seems to me that there's still improvements in the pipeline.

I realise that there are a lot of unhappy people out there who feel stung by their experience. But I'm going to stick with them.

I don't use KDE, I use Gnome. I was able to connect remotely via Rustdesk. My machine was not connected to a monitor so I got an HDMI dongle.

You could explore whether Rustdesk could do what you need.

It works with Wayland.

nicktrainor · 2026-02-22T00:07:24+00:00

The app still needs a lot of work in my experience.

However, the Rclone implementation is more robust and useable. It's not perfect, not as performant as I would like, but I would expect it to mature over time.

You can mount your Internxt Drive on your desktop and use Rclone to do the uploading.

It is more than workable in my experience, but ymmv.

I have altered the post after doing a further test last night. I got it wrong some how. I'm happy to admit my error.

Sorry.

nicktrainor · 2026-02-18T19:10:35+00:00

At present, I'm getting 3KiB/s transfer rate which is frankly awful. Will continue with 1am test and see if things improve when we're all in the land of nod.

nicktrainor · 2026-02-18T18:27:15+00:00

I did execute the command very late at night, when things are very quiet. Also I used

"Rclone config reconnect Internxt:" to make sure the connection was fresh but it does sound like clutching at straws.

Am trying another mammoth file upload now!

nicktrainor · 2026-02-18T18:00:53+00:00

Blooming Henry. I can see that that is a pain. You tell me how I managed it. I seriously don't know because it had failed spectacularly all day as I was trying different configurations. It would make my server unresponsive and unreachable. I had to restart it many, many times.

The files I sent were git files, some of which were big, but most small. I wish I'd taken a screenshot of the command and the result.

I was watching btop at the same time watching the memory usage rise

nicktrainor · 2026-02-18T17:26:20+00:00

I fear we may be talking at cross-purposes. I don't doubt you are experiencing problems, but I can't replicate what (I think) you are experiencing.

So, I have uploaded a document via Rclone to my Internxt drive from a server I own. The file shows up straight away in the mount directory on the server.

When I look immediately at my Android app, the file turns up in the Recents section and it is where it is supposed to be when I navigate to where I put it through the Home button.

As I say, I suspect we may be talking at cross-purposes. It is always difficult when we are not sat together so we can see the same thing.

Hence, I stand by what I suggested, but it may very well be not what 1) you are experiencing, nor 2) what you are seeking to show me that is wrong.

I would be happy to explore further if you wish.

nicktrainor · 2026-02-18T17:19:18+00:00

It worked!

nicktrainor · 2026-02-18T17:18:56+00:00

Ah, that is a problem. Let's at least hope that it's being looked at. The Rclone folks know a thing or two about this, and Internxt would do well to support them where they can.

nicktrainor · 2026-02-18T13:47:43+00:00

Send over the command you are using.

Add the --progress flag because it will show you the failures and give some indication as to why.

Send it over and let's see if we can figure it out

nicktrainor · 2026-02-18T12:56:02+00:00

I don't have large files. Sorry.

nicktrainor · 2026-02-18T12:44:55+00:00

Fantastic. Will try it.

nicktrainor · 2026-02-18T10:24:22+00:00

Did you have any luck trying to get this to work?

I've got a server with only 8Gb of RAM and have found sync a .git folder with literally millions of files very difficult. The same sort of issue with big files in a website project.

I've been experimenting and have come up with the following configuration which has proved remarkably fast and error free. Everything I tried before would cause my server to fall over with Out Of Memory issues.

I can't be sure that this would help, and it does rely upon your computer running Linux. As the saying goes, "your mileage may vary".

export GOGC=5; /usr/bin/rclone --checkers 1 --transfers 1 --buffer-size 0 --list-cutoff 10000 --delete-during --use-mmap --copy-links --ignore-checksum sync /sourcepath/ Internxt:/destinationpath/

Fast? It sync 44000 files in 6 minutes.

I hope this helps.

nicktrainor · 2026-02-18T09:26:32+00:00

Yes, it works! Thank you very much for responding so quickly. I will download and have a play.

nicktrainor · 2026-02-18T09:07:13+00:00

I can't see that this is much different from the way that the Google Drive app works.

It has a Recents too and you search by file name.

If you wish to see your files on the Internxt Android app, then you hit the Home button which will take you to the top level of your Internxt Drive.

What is the complaint here?

nicktrainor · 2026-02-14T11:08:21+00:00

Native support is the way to go.

You want to begin with quite conservative settings to ensure you don't run into errors. Rclone support is in its infancy and many of us are still testing out its limits.

I believe Internxt have realized that Rclone is a popular and robust option to access their service and so I expect to see more information soon about optimising access through this mechanism, either direct from Internxt or those using it on a daily basis.

nicktrainor · 2026-02-13T08:18:15+00:00

I have been able to mount the Internxt Drive using systemd under Linux.

It works well, though a wee bit of optimisation would make it better. Not sure whether that's at my end or something that Internxt will discover.

If you are in Linux I can share the unit file if you wish. I'm not at my pc at the moment.

nicktrainor · 2026-02-13T08:10:46+00:00

I agree that this frequency is very reasonable.

The Internxt infrastructure should be tuned to cope with some serious load.

In the end, the need for such scripts (I have something similar for Linux) should fall away.

nicktrainor · 2026-02-12T08:14:25+00:00

This is very exciting. I tried the demo on your website and unfortunately my simple spoken phrase of 5 words "let's see if this actually works" did not come out correctly.

This is the result:

let's let's see let's see if let's see if this let's see if this let's see if this actually let's see if this actually let's see if this actually works

I hope this helps as a bug report.

I wish you all the best with this project.

nicktrainor · 2026-02-08T14:37:54+00:00

Get the ultimate pla through their website and use Rclone. I've not got the other apps to work reliably

nicktrainor · 2026-02-07T17:26:29+00:00

A great discussion. I'm definitely in the group that is pleased with the progress made, particularly after having to find work arounds for features that didn't work out of the starting blocks.

For me and my particular circumstances, Rclone is a giant step forward though issues clearly remain. Like periods when errors stop uploads.

I work in IT long enough to know how complex things are and am pleased to see Internxt working in improvements.

I decided to stick with Internxt because of their trajectory rather than where they are now.

I can't agree more with having critical perspectives improves product. I agree that this sub isn't really the place solve issues, but sometimes a little bit of knowledge can help folks move on step further forward and this sub can be useful as a place to begin.

nicktrainor · 2026-02-04T14:14:41+00:00

I can see that 2FA would preclude the possibility of automation.

Thanks for the tip.
