I'm trying to set up a mirror between a local directory and my shared gdrive. Everything seems ok; FFSS is able to see the cloud directory. However, when I try to sync to it I get errors like the one below, curle operation timeout. I only have one thread used for every operation.

When this happens I very often an error in the log like the one below, and/or I get multiple copies of the exact same file in the destination directory when there is only one in the source directory.

I'm using the latest version, and I thought that was supposed to solve this gdrive sync issue. That makes me think I'm doing something wrong.

Any ideas?

How large are these files? Is it with the same ones every time? Is it when it is transferring large files or many small ones?

There doesn't seem to be a pattern that I can discern. I know it happens sometimes with files < 200MB, but not all the time. I don't have any smaller files that I regularly sync, so I can't see it they too are causing an issue. But the issue has to be caused by FFS, because rclone doesn't do this.

You could run a system log, something is likely interfering with the operation
