google file drive sync on Mac backs up everything even if excluded
Hello
macbook pro. wifi only available, so always seek to minimise backup upload size!
I have a GFDS account, with about 500Gb of content. All set to 'online only'.
Mac HDD is 500Gb, 350Gb of data on it.
I exclude GFDS folder from backup
Acronis still thinks there is 850Gb of data to back up with no exclusions set.
I can get the backup to realise that there is only 80Gb that needs backing up by excluding all online services manually (Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Backup and Sync, iCloud drive) and then logging out of GFDS *and* manually excluding ~/Library/Application Support/Google/DriveFS/ from the back up.
If I log back in, it tries to add the whole 500Gb in Googel File Drive (cloud copies) to the backup again.
Any chance of having a simple 1-click exclusion for GFDS like you already have for Google Back up and Sync?
Thanks!
