Files in Google Drive show different modified time

I'm experiencing an odd issue where FFS sees files in google drive as having a modified time a few minutes newer than they really are. For instance, a file shows as modified at 10:05:23 in Finder both locally and in Drive File Stream, but FFS says it was modified at 10:09:12, or 10:11:13, etc, (in other words, not a consistent interval that the "ignore time shift" option would help with). Has anyone else experienced this, or found a solution? As a workaround I've used the file size comparison as it's fairly unlikely that a 2GB psd that's been modified would be the same size to the byte, but probably not beyond a reasonable doubt (I haven't thoroughly tested).
Any help would be much appreciated!

What modification time do you see when you access the file directly via the web interface?
