Warning: Do not use cloudsync with Google drive!

So I have two PCs set up with Google drive currently, one laptop and one Desktop. I also recently had a desktop die that was my primary machine. They all run windows 11 and RB 6.8.5 which alegedly supports Google drive as a cloudsync storage platform.

So two major issues, the first is that you can't simply select all your tracks and download them from cloudsync, even very small numbers constantly throw errors.

The second and worse issue is that files have disappeared from the collection, they show as not on the cloud or the local machine. What seems to be happeneing is that the library has been corrupted and shows the drive path for the old machine even though the files are being downloaded from cloud storage into a separate directory. The files are there but the library path is wrong and there is no way to update it, you can't search and auto update.

So far I've had to roll into two gigs over the weekend without being able to add tracks or put together play lists, I'm just lucky I have USBs with most of my collection on them. But this is really bad. I've opened a ticket with support but no feedback so far and I have no idea when I'l have a functioning library again. 

Dear Alpha-Theta, please test your software properly, it's expensive and even more so, your very expensive equipment are essentially bricks without it. Stability is the feature I think we all want to see out of future releases.
