Phantom copies of files and folders

Open anboch opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

When moving or changing files and folders, their copies are created with the addition of some hash to the name.

After some time in the 'new folder' the 'new file' also appears.

I'm experiencing the same issue. Oddly, the phantom file can be viewed in the mounted local directory but is not present in Google Drive (using the web interface, for example). And somehow both files (e.g., newfile(e61177c6) and newfolder/newfile) are mapped to the same single file in GD, so deleting one will delete both. Even renaming one will rename both. So far, I coundn't find a way to get rid of these phantom files and directories. They keep showing up even after unmounting and mounting again.

Same here. I thought it was a caching issue but 'google-drive-ocamlfuse -cc' didn't help either. I worked around it by restarting the related systemd service, which actually unmounts/remounts GD.

I'm also having similar issues. I thought it was a problem with LibreOffice but symptoms are the same as above.

File name randomly seems to get (random number) added in to it. File name starts of as test.ods and then opening/closing files enough times it eventually get rename to test (random number).ods like test (4426eca1).ods
