Hi, Im new here
Im about to back up my google drive, and I got a error (file not found) when it tried to read a folder that had a "/" in its name (thats allowed in google drive). I can manually remove the slashes (theres quite some...) but I just wanna flag it as a possible bug. And maybe hear if you know a way around it?

The fact that a "/" (forward slash) may be allowed in Google Drive does not mean that it is smart to use that character when copying or syncing to systems for/in which such character is not permitted or has a special meaning.

No, but that doesn't solve the problem ;-) And since many people are not "smart" and predict this kind of issue, I'm flagging it here, in case someone else run into the issue.
