Hi @marko,
I took a look at the diagnostic and it appears that icloud is trying to sync these files, as well, which is why you are seeing the .icloud extensions on files. This can cause some unexpected behavior if icloud starts to change these files (offloading them, for example), since odrive will see these changes and sync them.
It seems like icloud may have done something to these files when it was trying to manage disk space.
The first thing we should do is turn off that .icloud offloading feature with these steps:
- Go to ‘System Preferences’ on your Mac and click on ‘iCloud’.
- Click on ‘Options…’ to the right of the ‘iCloud Drive’ item.
- In here you can see what is currently setup. The ‘Desktop and Documents Folders’ is most-likely checked and indicates that iCloud is syncing those items to your iCloud storage.
- At the bottom of this window is the ‘Optimize Mac Storage’ option. This is what controls the creation of the .icloud files. Uncheck this option to prevent the creation of .icloud files.
Next, we need to sort out what happened to the files. Probably the best place to start is in Google Drive, itself. It looks like you may have a few Google Drive accounts. I want to see if the data on Google Drive is correct and its just the local version that icloud is interfering with.
To do this, go to the Google Drive web interface and try to open some of these problem files in there. See if they open correctly. If not, check the history of the file by using the “information” icon on the Google Drive web client.
Under the details tab, there is a modified entry that has a clock icon. This allows you to view the versions of the file. If the file was modified by icloud, there should hopefully be a previous version that was unmodified.
