OCamlFUSE and Google Drive: Libreoffice file saving issues

Post by dwierda »

I have been using OCamlFUSE to mount and access Google Drive files for years now without issues, but about a month ago files often but not always do not save properly. Is this most likely a LibreOffice issue or a OCamlFUSE issue?

When I save a file, it often does not seem to complete the Save operation. If I check Google Drive, it shows the file name with some added letters and numbers in parentheses behind it, and if I try to save the file again, LibreOffice will display a warning that another operation has modified the file since I saved it. If I proceed with the Save at that point, the file will save with its own file name, but the other version remains on Google Drive as well.

If I do not save the file again, it leaves just the version with the extra parenthesis e.g. (138087cd) and those files build up in Google Drive until I manually delete them.

i have had this with both LibreOffice Writer and Calc files.

Any ideas or feedback?
