I ran into problems with Google files. Such as .gdoc etc ...

Your application reads them and writes a size of 0. When I put it in the filter to ignore .gdoc and others. It still shows them. This is the case when I have set up copying from Google drive to Google drive. If I copy something from a folder that I have connected via the Google Drive File Stream application, the filter for .gdoc and other Google formats works.

So please fix.

There's probably an error in your exclude filter syntax: https://freefilesync.org/manual.php?topic=exclude-items.
Also FFS doesn't write google doc files with size zero, it just fails with an error when trying to read from them.
But it might be possible to suppport copying these files, at least "locally", e.g. from My Drive to some shared drive.
