Nowadays, many users installed Google Drive app on their iPhone and let Google Drive automatically sync their files to Google cloud server automatically.

The question remains, if no files have been made available offline in the Google Drive app, then why is the index taking suck a large chunk of storage?Īlthough this question is best suited for the Google Drive's support team, any answered posted here will most certainly be welcomed by me.Google Drive Stopped Unexpectedly on iPhone!

And when a file is selected to be openend, it is then downloaded temporarily to the device's local storage. On mobile applications, only an index of the cloud drive's (iCloud, Google Drive, Dropbox, Box.com, etc.) content is being presented. This problem is likely due to an issue with the GD application itself, in terms of code instead of storage.Īll files are stored only on the cloud (unless saved offline) for mobile devices, and synchronized on PCs and Macs (not on Linux yet, which *****) by default, unless the user customizes the directories/folders that will be synchronized (to conserve valuable storage on your MacBook's drive). I'm experiencing the same issue on my iPad, where Google Drive is consuming a considerable amount of storage, despite me not having any files available offline.
