What users are saying

1. But occasionally, it gets stuck! In the Drive app, the file status says "Waiting for upload" -- forever! Access from the Drive app is now blocked! Checking from a Web Browser, the changes are actually saved! Removing and reinstalling Drive app fixes the status.

2. The Google Drive storage platform itself is great!I've been trying to use it to upload photos from work projects, and it simply isn't working as intended.

3. 2023: Still a problem!Seems like it's been a long time since I've been able to upload files to Drive from my phone.

4. Seems like I have a permanent file "waiting to upload" now, great.Bug: From Drive, open a file into an external program.

5. Pretty annoying to have to move files from phone to PC, upload to drive from PC, and then continue what i was working on...maybe the devs will fix it one day.

6. A few minutes later the folder disappeared! The dark theme is still great! Suggestion: Please allow your app to backup and sync folders (look at apps like AutoSync on Android, and the combination of Beyond Compare and Rai web drive on the PC side).

7. I start the folder and upload the photos at the end of the night, and they say "waiting for wifi" then whenever I actually hit wifi, they just continually TRY to upload, but never actually start uploading or make any progress.

8. This is frustrating because I trusted in Google Drive to keep my memories safe and when I can't locate the file or it won't open, it breaks my heart.

9. I've tried turning off the "upload on wifi only", switched networks (like the various template responses I've seen in the reviews section), turning off VPN, even restarting the phone.

10. I have gone through 2 phones and still experience the same bug, if I leave the app or go to a different folder while trying to upload anything, it will not upload and will stall until canceled.

11. This is very annoying when trying to upload videos as they take a while, so if the screen times out or I change windows at all, I have to ocmoletely restart the upload.Still the worst app on the planet.

Steps to Troubleshoot & Fix Google Drive Issues

1. Fix Google Drive Not Working/Crashes/Errors/Unresponsive & Black/White screen:


  1. Restart Google Drive: Restarting the app will resolve most errors.
  2. Update the Google Drive App. Here is how:
    1. On Android goto PlayStore » Search for "Google Drive" » Open Google Drive » click "Update".
    2. On iPhone, goto AppStore » Your profile » Available Updates » Check for Google Drive » click "UPDATE".
  3. Clear Google Drive app cache: Clearing cached data will force your app to retrieve the latest data directly from Google Drive servers.
    1. On Android, goto Settings » Apps » Select "Google Drive" » click Storage » click "Clear Cache".
  4. Check Google Drive app permissions. If any of these permissions required to use your device's features are disenabled, Google Drive might not work.
  5. Uninstall and reinstall Google Drive. If nothing else has worked, completely uninstall Google Drive then reinstall.
  6. Restart your device. Last, restarting your device can often clear most problems causing Google Drive not working


2. Fix Google Drive Server issues & Internet Connection


  1. Check network connection: An unstable Internet will make Google Drive be unable to connect to it's servers. Ensure your wi-fi is working then restart app.
  2. Disable VPN: VPN can cause connection errors and lead to Google Drive not working. Make sure all VPNs are off
  3. Enable background data: When Background data is turned off, Google Drive may not be able to connect to the Internet when running in the background.
