1.Check the status of Google Drive
Google is proud of its continuous operating time, but it is not known that sometimes services have occurred.
If you have a problem with the file uploading, first check the status of Google Drive.Unfortunately, there is no solution if there is no problem.
Open the status dashboard to know Google status.All Google services are listed, and the service failure information is also described.
Users can report online sites and services issues, DownDetector and Outage.Sites such as Report are also useful.
When Google Drive is down, there is nothing else than waiting for recovery.If not, try the following methods:
2.Check network connection
Next, check if there is any problem with the Internet connection.
For Windows 10, open the settings with "Windows Key + I" and select "Network and Internet".On this screen, you can check if it is connected to the Internet or if it is connected.
If the problem is suspected, click "Network Trouble Shooting Tools".Windows automatically detects the problem and tries to solve it.
In the case of a Mac, search for "network utility" or select "Network Utility" in the Applications folder in Spotlight search.The connection status is displayed and you can check if the transmission and receiving is performed without any problems.
If the network problem still continues, try restarting the router.For more detailed explanations, please see how to diagnose this network problem.
3.Disable virus measures and firewalls
If you are using virus software or firewalls, make sure that the synchronization does not resume when you cut them.After setting changes, you may need to restart your computer.
In the case of Windows 10, the default Windows security is running.To cut this, press "Windows Key + I" to open the settings, and select "Update and Security", "Windows Security", and "Open Windows Security".
When the new screen opens, select "Firewall and Network Protection".Next, select the "active" network and turn off "Microsoft Defender Firewall".
This is just a temporary solution, as firewalls should always be turned on.If you know that you can't solve the upload problem, don't forget to return it on.
4.Restart backup and synchronization
It is an old -fashioned trouble shooting method, but it can be successful.Restart the "backup and synchronization" client to see if the file upload problem is not solved.
First, in the system tray, click the "Backup and Sync" icon.Next, click the configuration icon with three vertical dots and select "Ends backup and synchronization".Then open the utility again.
If the situation does not improve, try restarting the system itself.For Windows 10, select "Start", "Power", and "Restart", and for Mac, select "Apple Menu" and "Restart".
5.Re -connect your account
Unlock the Google account once and reconnect.This takes some time to re -synchronize all files.
In the system tray, click the backup and synchronization icons.After clicking the setting icon (three vertical dots), select "Settings".
Click "Settings" in the menu on the left, and select in the order of "Release Account Connection" and "Cancel Connection".You have now canceled the connection.
Next, click the backup and synchronization icon again in the system tray.Press "Sign -in" and connect your account according to the instructions on the screen.
6.Reinstall of backup and synchronization
If you are unlucky that it has not yet been resolved, try backup and synchronization reinstallation.
First, open Google Drive online.After that, select "Obtain a backup and synchronization" from the gear icon in the upper right.
This allows you to obtain the latest version.Follow the instructions on the screen, proceed with the installation, and ask if you want to replace the current version, then select "Yes".
Select the Google Drive folder in the middle of the installation and restore all files.
There is also a way to uninstall the program from the system first.After that, please download it in the same procedure as above.
If you know that the installed program is the latest version, this is a good way.
7.Change the file name
If you have done so far, it may be a file side problem that you are trying to synchronize.If the file name contains a specific character, the synchronization may not work.
If the file name contains symbols such as "/", "\", "?", Please delete it.
Depending on the OS, those symbols are often banned, but may be in the file name due to some error.
Erase the entire file name, not partially, and re -enter it.After that, let's check if you can upload it.
If you still can't do it, try saving the file in a different format.It should be a good test because Google Drive may not be able to support the original file format.
8.Clear the cache
Google Drive is faster to read the file by leaving cache on your smartphone or desktop.However, it is possible that there is an incompetent problem that causes it.
There may be problems such as no synchronization, or some files can not be opened in the browser.If you don't solve the problem even if you try the method so far, try clearing the cache.
Here is how to clear the cache with Chrome for desktop.
- ブラウザーのツールバーで、設定アイコン（縦にドット3つ）をクリックして、「その他のツール」「閲覧履歴を消去」を選択。あるいは、アドレスバーに「chrome://settings/clearBrowserData」と入力するか、「Ctrl + Shift + Del」を押す
- 「閲覧履歴データの削除」ボックスで、「クッキーと他のサイトデータ」および「キャッシュされた画像とファイル」にチェック
- 上部にあるプルダウンで、削除したい期間を選択。すべて削除する場合、「全期間」を選択
- 「データを削除」をクリック
Don't forget to organize in Google Drive
Above, we have introduced a solution to Google Drive's upload problem.If this is not the case, ask for advice in Google Drive's helpforum or contact Google directly to support.
Once the situation is solved, try to organize the files and folders in Google Drive so that you can find the files you want in the future.
