Google Drive is something I rarely used before recently. I now have Backup and Sync on my computer and from the start there was this long list of .mp4 (videos) from my Google Photos that wouldn’t backup to my computer.<\/p>\n
Going to Google Drive, finding those files. none would download, I turned off Adblocker and it changed how it failed. Interesting. So I turned off Stylish too, and then it was still failing, so I looked for an anwer even harder.<\/p>\n
I stumbled across a help post on google forums which was way down a page, it was a good clue, but not entirely what was wrong with my Google Drive working, but in a way yes, and no at the same time.<\/p>\n
They said to only have one User signed in<\/p>\n
I only had one User account in Chrome, in my browser on pages my other gmail account was switchable because my main account I use is one, and my main Youtube TV account is another gmail account. It makes me accept my Youtube TV as the account to use on Youtube\/YoutubeTV\u00a0 and simply that was halting my download-able-ness of videos.<\/p>\n
So once I made that ID not be present in any way shape or form in\u00a0 this browser instance, I could download one of those files. So I quit the browser, restarted my Google Backup and Sync, Voila! It’s downloading those dratted .mp4’s now.<\/p>\n
Well, it’s still hiccuping on some of them … but overall, the issue isn’t as vast as it was, so much better now. Maybe once it’s done syncing I’ll be able to download the one’s still left un-sync-able.<\/p>\n
Well, I’m so tired right now, I need to just quit typing, post this, and read it again in the morning, fix it or delete it, whatever makes most sense once my sense is reset (sleep.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
