Hi @sue.mann,
I’m sorry to hear you are having some issues here.
G-Doc files are not “real” files, so odrive can’t really sync them. They are purely cloud files and can only exist in Google (by design). When you “sync” a G-Doc to the desktop, odrive is really just creating a web shortcut to the file on Google.
This means gdoc files can never be uploaded. odrive is also unable to delete gdoc files, as well. If you try, odrive will produce an error and restore the placeholder.
Since these files seem to be “unanchored” to actual files in Google, it sounds like they may have been copied in from somewhere else, which is why they are in “not allowed” and can’t be seen on Google. It is possible these were copied from another linked Google Drive?
If you send a diagnostic I can take a closer look, also:
