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

Hi,

I'm having the same issue with this.

I've checked the logs and it just doesn't see the files *.gsheet and *.gdoc

I think there's no issue with the syncing, this works. It just doesn't recognize the google files so it doesn't sync them
