Ratings and reviews

Good, but there is a bug: From Drive, open a file into an external program. Edit and save. Most of the time, the file status works. But occasionally, it gets stuck! In the Drive app, the file status says "Waiting for upload" -- forever! Access from the Drive app is now blocked! Checking from a Web Browser, the changes are actually saved! Removing and reinstalling Drive app fixes the status. Still a nasty bug. May be related to poor cellular data connection and Upload via WiFi only setting.

This app totally sucks if you try to use files offline on a Pixel 5a. My folders with files I've selected to be available offline are constantly locked behind infinite loops of the app "making them available offline" again every time I try to open the folder, which will not load at all while the process is going on. Nine times out of ten the app crashes completely about a minute later. I'm looking into transferring all my cloud storage to Dropbox.

Normally, this is an excellent app, but the recent update has constant synchronization issues or unfounded warnings of network connection issues. It was working perfectly on a high-speed network & changing networks does not resolve the issue. Neither does clearing the app cache nor un/reinstalling as suggested in other comments. Continually closing the app completely seems to work if only very temporarily until the warnings/issues reappear, disrupting usability. It's also the same for Docs.
