#2Upvoting so someone at Google can look at this.
I won't use a Google product if I can avoid it because their support is terrible and automated. At their scale I imagine any customer slight can be rounded off because of the sheer number of customers they have.

#3Seems like the root cause here is the drive sync app is 32 bit and thus running into the 2GB memory limit. I wonder if it's built with LARGEADDRESSAWARE? Otherwise you could hex edit that into the PE header and get double the usable address space as a possible workaround.

#5This doubles as a nice advertisement for dynalist. It looks like Workflowy but more functional.

#6What are the odds this suddenly actually gets attention when it hits the front page?
Do you really have to publicly shame a company into action?

#7This is why Dropbox has value. It works, its reliable, and if you're a paying customer you can get support.
Spend the $10/month. Don't go on for more than half a year with your storage being broken.

They have gone one step further, and explicitly ignored the request.

#9Personal advice: Spend one time 30$ on insync https://www.insynchq.com/ The Google Drive Sync application (which is internally python on Mac and Windows I heard) is horrible and a memory and cpu hog. Insync solved all my problems and with that software I could replace Dropbox.
BTW: Filipino guys engineered that. I'm proud that I have one piece of Filipino software running here :D
