Google Drive Compare – Comparing file error

Google Drive Sync File

The Hype of windows 10 trend is pulling me to change my os from windows 7 to windows 10. It took a while since the upgrading finished. Then since I have unlimited storage of google drive I don’t have to worry to upload all my important file to google drive and sync it to my local computer and new os.

But there’s a problem. My google drive is doing comparing file more than a weeks. I let it comparing for several day but when I wait it for some several day it never get finish. The problem im sure is google drive itself.  I try to find any source online from connect and disconnecting my gmail account and rename the directory. None of those work and unfortunately since this is from google drive desktop bug it never get any patch / update from google since when I discover the problem of any user is date on 2015 – 2016 years . I also try this step from the google support page :
