Sounds like you don't have permissions to write files to that location

Yeah that's what it says. I should have permission though, since I'm admin and it's my google drive account. But since the warning did not appear anymore since, I just hope it's okay now. However the following warning appears every few minutes:

Translation:
"Directory "...\RecycleBin~088f.ffs_tmp\..." cannot be created.
ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND: System cannot find the shown file.
[GetShortPathName]"

I feel like I'm doing something wrong, but I'm a ffs noob and have no clue what's that supposed to mean.
I auto sync (start with windows) my google drive (for desktop) folder to
1) a folder at my home pc and
2) to a folder in my work pc.

I'm grateful for any advice

When using free file sync to access your Google Drive are you doing it through Google Desktop for Windows or are you using the Google function within free file sync?

Whichever way you tried first try it the other way and see if it works.

Google drive for desktop (as written). Google Drive Function from ffs does not work with autosync.
