ReadyNAS 6.7.1 and Google Drive Cloud Sync

Bidirectional sync with Google Drive Cloud does not seem to work. On the Bidirectional setting it only syncs from the NAS to Google Drive Cloud but not the other way round.

I did some tests with all 3 sync modes: up / down / bidirectional. Even on the down settings it still does not sync from Google Drive Cloud to the NAS.

Only the up mode works (NAS to Google Drive Cloud).

On other posts/threads I've seen mention of setting the synchronisation check frequency but that does not appear anywhere.

Can anyone help?

Update:

After about 90 mins, folders seem to have synced bidirectionally, but not their content. Will that be another 90 mins? Looks I need to access the synchronisation check frequency, so can anyone advise where that is configured?

Thanks

    Not sure what you mean by "history" button.
    
    But in any case it seems to be working now. It's possible there was a large backlog of synchronisation to do, as we had only just set this up.
    
    However it seems the ReadyNAS Google Drive sync does not sync google documents ( *.gdoc *.gsheet etc) Can you confirm that, please.
    
    But with MS Office documents (*.docx *.xlsx etc) it works fine.
    
    So why would ReadyNAS Google Drive sync some file types and not others?
    
    Thanks
