desktop google drive not syncing check proxy settings

how to prevent this from happening again, when you move to another computer, maybe you could somehow make it a habit to force a sync before continuing? I mean, right from the days of CP/M, WordStar and SuperCalc we old people are so used to keep hitting Ctrl-S continually whenever we are not typing anything, just so that the damn thing saves I think this has nothing to do with Google or Windows or Mac at all, this is just your internet connection at home glitching out for a short while.

I am guessing the sync would have happened given a little more time, just in this one instance. It could just be a temporary glitch with the syncing between the cloud and the Windows computer. Therefore my answer here may not be correct, but here is my thought for whatever it's worth: I am not a google user or a Windows user nor do I rely on anything cloud for important stuff - always prefer local storage etc. My question: why didn't the earlier edits reflect on the local version when Computer B & Google backup & sync were both running? Have any of you faced any sync issues? Is there anything I can do to avoid this situation in the future.*SNIP* My question: why didn't the earlier edits reflect on the local version when Computer B & Google backup & sync were both running?

Perplexed, I made a second edit on and voila, the local file on Computer B updated with the latest version. I checked on and the document in the cloud showed my latest edits from Computer A!!! But the local file on Computer B was still showing an older version. Luckily, I noticed the missing comments when I opened the document, else I'd have ended up with 2 conflicting file versions. Horror of horrors, I don't see the points I had made while editing the document in the cloud on my Mac. After 8 - 10 hours, I start working on Computer B and open up the local copy of the Tata Altroz document.

Computer B (Windows) was up and running in my office, with Google backup & sync on. This was done on Computer A (my Macbook). I'm away from my desk and edit the Tata Altroz word document using Chrome on.

I haven't noticed this before though, so (hopefully) haven't lost any work earlier (not so sure after this event). For a writer, I don't think there is any nightmare worse than losing your work! Damn Google and its bugs.
