Google Drive fails to upload large files - stuck

I have the same issue with large files. It’s not even showing in the sync log i.e. 17gb file to Google Drive. Any ideas?

Any ideas on this? Large files having issues.

Hi @mbw,
My apologies. I missed this.

Can you clarify what you are trying to do? This is downloading or uploading?

You don’t see the file mentioned anywhere in the “sync activity log”?

This is for upload. The file name is not mentioned for what is causing the fault no, but it’s a large file.

Sadly, even when uploading one file at a time, the app fails and, this time, suddenly closes after reaching 100% of upload it says “the read operation timed out” then never completes the upload.

Hi @mbw,
Thanks for the additional details. Google Drive upload has been stable for a long time, so it is odd to see these types of issues.

I am currently looking into it.

I will submit another diagnostics as the app has just randomly quite twice now.

Hi @mbw,
Can you try updating to this version? It adds additional upload handling and logging.

Yes I am on a deadline for some uploads once they finish I will try this and swap over to my regular internet. I had to get faster internet temporarily to get these uploads done. When my internet is above 80Mbps it does not seem to be an issue, it’s just if I am at 40 Mbps upload that the issue starts happening.

This version has been working a lot better for some reason.

Great! There was some additional error handling added, so it is not unexpected that it would be performing better than before.

Tony,

The version you gave me worked great but I updated macos and had to redownload the new version and now it’s broken again. Any way to re-add what you did to the new version?

Hi @mbw ,

This is strange since the code in the test build you were using is in the current release.

Can you send a diagnostic from the odrive tray menu so I can take a closer look? Just let me know when it has been sent.

Thanks!

Sent! Thank you! Weird, not sure what changed then :slight_smile:

I am sending an updated diagnostic now as well.

Hi @mbw ,

Here is a new version that has some additional logging and some extra guards in place.

odrive

Please try it out and let me know if you still see the same behavior. If so, please send over another diagnostic and let me know when it has been sent.
