Is Google Drive failing to sync a particular folder or folders despite selecting them in Backup and Sync Preferences? In that case, you must confirm that the Backup and Sync client has sufficient permissions to access the folders on your Mac. In addition, the Google Drive tab allows you to select the folders you want to sync from Google Drive to your Mac. You can then use the options on the My ‘Mac model name’ tab to select the folders on your Mac that should be synced to Google Drive. It seems like a simple thing to do, but a reboot can potentially fix the most common anomalies, including stuck Google Drive uploads and downloads. If the above fixes didn’t work, try restarting your Mac. Also, try to switch between the available Wi-Fi connections in cases where synchronization problems persist.
