The program is completely unreliable

I've tried uploading 2 big folders to my unlimited lifetime cloud space.

Uploading the first folder (a 200 something item folder containing multiple GBs files of videos I've taken I ended up having many errors such as the following and had to resort to manually searching for the wording "after 3 attempts" and manually taking notes of the not uploaded files that I manually uploaded after the transfer had ended through a web browser.

Here is an excerpt from the command output. Also notice the progress bar was not appearing during most of the upload

After noticing that the problems were mostly faced during first few hours and later during the night the upload went on without any major hiccup I therefore started uploading my archive of 55493 photos that are kept in a somewhat orderly fashion inside a huge folder with a quite complex structure. The first few hours were amazingly straightforward but then, all of a sudden the uploading halted and I have no chance to restart the process from where it stopped, my only chance is to delete the uploaded folder and start again, not knowing whether I can actually trust the program will actually manage the upload without failing midway again.

⚠ Error: Failed to create folders, cannot upload files

Is there any way I can restart uploading from where it left off? Otherwise I'll restart uploading in another folder so that I can finally transfer all these files.

I think this is a pretty important command, especially considering one might not have enough free space on the main pc drive to use the native cloud service, and that the browsers are even more unreliable and slow in uploading big folders. Also the error output makes the output very difficult to read or to actually recollect the non uploaded files (which should at least show the full local path, and whose error should be clearly listed at the end of the command output in an orderly fashion). Please make it more dependable.

Hi! @giovariot, Thanks for reaching out!
As of right now, we do not have a mechanism to resume the upload where you left it. But rest assured that I will be bringing this topic to the team so that we can try to come up with a solution in the next releases

[giovariot]

Also please make the output more usable, the progress bar (and maybe also upload status of single files) disappears in a sea of debug messages that in my opinion should only be showed when running the program with an enabling option.
