Synology Drive 4 Update Taking a Long Time

[zombiephysicist]

Has anyone else updated their Synology Drive Package to 4.xx?

You can find the package here:

Synology Archive Download Site - Index of /download/Package/SynologyDrive/4.0.0-27877

archive.synology.com

You can find the client package here:

Synology Archive Download Site - Index of /download/Utility/SynologyDriveClient/4.0.0-17877

archive.synology.com

I've had the above screen stuck for about 30 minutes now. My guess/hope is it has to scan all the files being shared as part of the update, which for me is probably several million files, and that's what's taking a long time. I am on the latest version of DSM 7.3.1-86003 (if that makes any difference).

One thing that is interesting is my Synology Drive Client on the mac now says it's out of date, so at some level, the server software must be updated.

Curious if anyone else did the update and if it just takes a long time, or if at some point I should just restart the server to "fix" whatever is stuck.

Thanks for any insights!

And I just got this error:

And when I retry I get this.

And if I try to restart I get this:

And I backed out of installing Synology Drive, so not sure what's going on.

And even weirder, now it shows this:

Well, I'm running the 4.0 client on the mac and it seems to be working. Not sure what all the brain farts are about. I guess I'll let the system "settle down" for half a day or so and see if I can't reboot the machine. Weirdness.

This is weird now too:

Package center shows an update available. When I click on it, I see this:

But when I push the "Update" button, nothing happens.

 

[zombiephysicist]

I wonder if trying to reinstall the package manually might "unstick" it.

 

[zombiephysicist]

Yep, that fixed it! I can now reboot the server.

Anyway, if your system gets stuck with the update, wait for it to pinball into the above "stuck" state, then do another manual install, and it will close out whatever is stuck and finish the install.

Weird.

Hope this is of help to anyone else having a weird update.

More bugs.

Adding Synology Drive icon to the mac shelf takes up huge amount of space. Its icon when you hit customize is blown up huge. Clear bug:
