If I format my Mac without uninstalling odrive, will I lose everything of Google (I mean synced everything of Google Drive will be deleted from Google Drive by odrive)? I’m overly worried.

Hi @gusbemacbe , When odrive is running, it will detect file and folder deletes within the odrive folders. When it detects those deletes, it lists them in the “odrive trash”, where it will hold off on syncing those deletes to your cloud storage until you “empty” the odrive trash. https://docs.odrive.com/docs/sync-changes#section--recover-files-from-trash- Formatting a drive is a different process than file and folder deletes, so, even if odrive is running and continues to run while you are formatting the drive that the odrive folder is installed to, the most it will detect is that the odrive folder is now missing, which halts all syncing until corrected.

What circumstances will cause odrive to delete files in the cloud?
