Hi,
I use 14.5 FreeFileSync and I'd like to create a backup to my google drive.
I was able to add the google drive connection, but when I'd like to choose subfolder on my Google Drive and click on "Browse" I got an error:
Cannot read directory "gdrive:\..........@gmail.com"
Modification time is invalid. (53038-03-19TB:30.00.000Z)


Thanks for any help..

This looks like corrupted data coming from Google Drive. Even if one would allow the year "53038" to be valid, the "B" doesn't belong to an RFC 3339 date-time, which is of the format like "2018-09-29T08:39:12.053Z"

Hi.. and why can it happen?
This is a 2TB drive.. there is no problem an another, basic 15GB drive, maybe this is the root of the problem?
Do you have any idea how can I solve this?
Thank you

The fact that Google Drive returns an invalid date looks like a bug on Google's side.
