Why would you use takeout to download Google Drive contents when syncing to your local computer is its entire purpose?
Because the Google drive desktop app crashes as well :)
That is odd I can't remember it ever crashing on me.
I long ago used arq backup with google drive as a target, and there’s something like 1-10 million little chunk files in that directory so it’s probably that…
Google Drive files you can sync to local disk via the Windows or Mac app.
