The Directory browser of FreeFileSync for remote connections doesn't refresh correctly the folders in G.Drive (Google workspace version) unless accessing it with Chrome before (one by one).
FIle comparison randomly shows as a file to add in the left windows (local files) when the file still exists in G.Drive, then syncing results with many duplicated files in G.Drive.
Pretty a mess with a huge amount of files and folders.
Erratic behaviour syncing with Google Drive.

Google Drive has a certain delay until it notifies applications via its API about changes. For files deleted on Google drive it can take 10-20 sec until an app sees this change.
Therefore it is best to run a sync while the Google Drive folder is not in heavy use.
