Google Drive Beta - File Syncing - Local Deletions not Syncing

Hi,
From my understanding (I could be wrong here) if you chose the option to "Upload local storage changes only", then the NAS will only ever upload/add files to the cloud. It will not remove stuff from the cloud as you are Uploading only.
For what you are after, I believe that you need to select the bi-directional.
"Lastly - Is there an easy way of comparing the cloud and local folders to see if everything is synced up correctly?"
- I don't see an easy way to do this. Maybe you could raise this as an Idea?
Thanks
I thought that bidirectional meant that if i changed something on the cloud drive, the change would be realized on the local drive.
Ahh yes, I think you are right. It seems it should work as you first expected.
Perhaps try and create a new share and make a new sync to that share. Can you consistantly reproduce the error? If yes, then perhaps raise it to NTGR support so they can log an issue internally.
Also, see if the issue persists on the latest firmware: 6.7.5.
