Kalnius Posted March 14, 2023 Posted March 14, 2023 1) There is a Google Drive, to which two users have all accesses and some users only have access rights for subfolders. 2) One person uses "stream", the other "mirror", so that there is an offline backup for faster work. 3) As soon as the person using Google Drive with streaming exports a file from Affinity Photo 2 directly to a Google Drive folder (JPG), Drive starts pushing all files to the trash. All files, including the parent folder. 4th) After that, the files are uploaded again by the user who set Mirror. 5.) Now all previously created user permissions for further access are deleted or they are not transferred to the new "old" folders. 6.) Users who had access to subfolders lose it. But they still have access to the old folders, which are still somewhere - but not visible for the two main users. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Quote
Staff NathanC Posted March 15, 2023 Staff Posted March 15, 2023 Hi @Kalnius welcome to the forums, I've attempted to replicate this using a Google Share Drive and two users with full permissions on the drive, one user on one PC set to Stream and the other set to Mirror on a different PC, After exporting from Photo 2 directly to the Share drive folder from the Stream PC, this retained all existing folders and files on the drive and nothing was moved to the trash, as expected. I've also tried this vice versa from the Mirror PC and swapped the permissions around though this all still worked as expected without deleting any synced files. This might be one to check with the Google Drive help Center/Community. Quote
