Google Drive App - Downloading files but not uploading them

[DanHamilton]

Hi,

I have been trying to setup the Google Drive for Desktop Application, which in theory should be easy peasy. After installing it and logging in, choosing the area to sync with Google Drive, it simply doesn't function properly.

 

 

 

 

OS: Windows 7

 

 

Things I have tried:

-Tried 2 different Google Accounts

-Automatic Proxy & Direct connection

-Changing Google Drive to sync a folder and not a "drive" as such.

-Restarting the PC

-Disconnecting Google account and reconnecting

-Signing out of all Google Accounts in the browser + trying all again

-Reinstalling Google Drive Desktop App.

-I have tried to pause and resume - Provided me with an error and linked to this help page: https://support.google.com/drive/answer/2456903

 

 

The issue:

All of the files on the web based app sync DOWN to the computer however nothing I put in the folder on the computer will upload to Google Drive. - Forever sits there with the blue syncing icon.

If I delete something from the computer, it deletes it from Google Drive.

If I delete something from the Google Drive website, it also deletes it from the computer.

 

 

 

 

This is starting to be a real pain so any help is appreciated.

 

 

Thanks,

Dan
