But in the meantime…if you’re having an issue viewing Google Drive files on Windows Explorer, here is a simple workaround so you don’t have to download or mirror a full folder. Once the panic subsided and we confirmed that indeed all our files were still intact online, the next question was “how do we fix this?” and the answer was…find a workaround! That was after a lengthy conversation with our Google Workplace Support team, who indicates that they are working to resolve the issue. It turns out, that unless you are the owner of a top-level folder it and its subfolders will simply not sync via Google Drive for Desktop to Windows Explorer, so all we were left with a collection of orphaned folders. Lo and behold, our team logged on one fine Monday morning and headed to Windows Explorer (which is how most of us navigate the file structure) and *poof* – most of our top-level files were simply not there. Google’s recent changes to replace files and folders with Shortcuts seemed innocuous until it wasn’t.
