OS: macOS (latest)

I am getting this error. Everything is done as per README.md

2019/06/16 19:58:44 [ERROR][google_photos/[e-mail]] Processing item graph: processing node of item graph: downloading data file: syncing file: sync timeliner_repo/data/2019/06/google_photos/IMG_5773.JPG: operation not supported (item_id=6)

Another error:

Apparently, it is not working on windows shared drives. Can it work on NFS ?

[Matt Holt]

Apparently NFS (or Windows shared drives) does not support syncing (flushing write buffers to disk). Seems like a limitation of the file system.

Error from here:

timeliner/itemfiles.go

Line 40 in 0ca48fe

 return fmt.Errorf("syncing file: %v", err)

Ok. Thanks.

Any other alternative to keep the photos in a centralized storage, and use something open source alternative for google photos for internal network.
