Remove backup and sync from google annoying mac#

I opened the folder with the circular arrows and looked for red check marks on the files - those were the problem files I had to remove from the folder by dragging them to my Mac desktop.Īfter removing the four problematic local files from my Google Drive folder, I quit Google Drive and restarted it. Circular arrows meant that folder was in the process - OR NOT! - of syncing. Green check marks meant everything was good. I looked for the tiny icons Google Drive added to the file identifiers to indicate the file’s sync status. I opened up my local Google Drive folder and drilled down to the problem folder and files. I believed those files only resided on my local Google Drive and had not yet uploaded to my online Google Drive.

PSD files that were quite large: 5.7MB, 6.3MB, 7.8MB and 8.9MB and Google Drive was choking on them for some reason. The App will give you a list of problem files. The first thing you need to look for if your Google Drive has stopped syncing is for the list of files that Google Drive is having trouble syncing. Today, I will share with you the fix I found that worked for me and might just get your Google Drive syncing again with your local Mac computer. If you are experiencing the greyed-out “Unable to Sync” error message, you are left to your own cure because there isn’t an official solution online from Google yet and the App itself offers no advice. I did have a problem for a day that was annoying and took some sleuthing to find a fix. I’m currently using 52% of my 80 gigs and everything is now online and properly backed up.
