This doesn’t really make sense if you program the tool using best practices for this type of functionality.īased on the explantation is sounds like Google is using a “batch” processing approach where each time a batch is executed it goes over ALL the files both locally and online and looks for changes and then makes the appropriate changes based on the differences found.Ī better approach for this functionality is to actually use triggers and listeners where Google File Stream “listens” to changes both online and local changes that are sent out by triggers to which Google File Stream listens to.
If you have any Google File Stream or Google Backup and Sync questions/issues, the Google Drive support team can be reached at Google File Stream does not actually download any files to your computer in order to sync them, it is simply mirroring files so they show up in Google File Stream for easy accessibility through the desktop app. We asked how long does it take to sync 800GB of files from Google Drive to Google File Stream, and they told us about 2 hours. The Google Drive support person told us that the Google File Stream was created from the idea their customer had where they wanted to have access to their Google Drive files without taking up space on their computer. We asked why is this? They told us that this is because Google File Stream is continually looking to see if any of the files on Google Drive have been updated, and is syncing them regardless if they were updated since the last sync or not. They told us that this is normal because Google File Stream will always and forever be syncing files that are on Google Drive over and over even if they have not been updated since the last time they were synced. We asked Google Drive support why it was taking over a month of 24/7 syncing to sync 2GB of files? This is done by right-clicking on each folder/file – going down to Drive File Stream – and selecting Online Only. We have 800GB of files on our Google Drive, so we only wanted to sync 2GB of these files with Google File Stream on one of our Mac’s, and for the rest of the files (798GB) we selected the “Online Only” option. Why is Google File Stream Syncing Forever?
