Hi Marc - I should have taken screenshots - but sadly I didn't. The issue was a large number of directories and single files were missing from the NAS that were on the Cloud-based google drive AND another machine that syncs to the Google Drive cloud (and not the NAS) - I had to kick it twice in the end with the swap of settings then apply
The log from the second half starts...

And this is where it's been since 14.27 - Which may be correct.
Both ticks are green and the blob on the app icon is back to green - it was blue during the sync.
There is no problem with internet connectivity. It's on the switch which connects to the firewall so it can't be any closer - The only App installed is Logitech Media Server which serves up Spotify which would be a good check for internet connectivity - there would be hell to pay it if was not available !

Have you set DNS servers manually under the Network settings? Also, have you tried retoggling Google drive service on the NAS?

Hi - It's taking its DNS from the Firewall (untangle) and has never been otherwise. Since the second toggle of the google drive my manual examination of the log file appears to show that synchronisation is happening but making sure that every file is updated for every user is a tall order. I have made no changes to the config. It doesn't explain :
1. Why the green light was showing when the drive was weeks out of date - OK you can say I should have been looking but really this is dangerious behaviour.
2. Why did it take 2 re-starts ? I can find no file error, illegal filenames etc. etc.
