Google Drive Sync uploads 0 Bytes files when uploading 0-Byte files to Google is faster than SMB tra

The Google Drive Sync from the ReadyNAS Settings uploads 0 Bytes files when uploading 0-Byte files to Google is faster than SMB transfer

 

I recently searched through my Google Drive "online mirror" of my ReadyNAS Storage when I noticed all these 0-Byte broken thumbnails. Apparently when I copy files onto the ReadyNAS via SMB using a MacBook (it creates lots of 0-Byte files and then fills them with data), ReadyNAS doesn't recognize the change and fails to update the files after their initial creation in Google Drive.

 

One possible solution is to prepare a folder, then activate Google Drive Synchronization and never touch the original files on the NAS again...
