2. Right-click on the little Drive icon  and select Pause.
3. Again, click on the little arrow in the system tray.

Since the last time I started up my computer, Drive won’t sync and other programs are acting weird too.  I haven’t turned my computer completely off in a long time.  I usually let it sleep or hibernate overnight.

If this is the case, we suggested rebooting your machine.  We also suggest completely shutting down your computer at least once a week.  

You will need to download the Drive Sync App on to all devices where you wish to use it.

To back up your device, please see the related Google Drive articles on the right side of this page.
