OK I've closed the Thumbnail Panel but it hasn't helped. Seems the only thing I can do is stop using a Google folder from with SC.

Good idea but how do I disable the Thumbnail panel? I can see how to change to List or Details but not remove altogether.

I have changed to simple list which seems to have improved a little.

As soon as I select G:\My Drive\Screenshots (where G is the letter assigned by Google for the File Stream virtual drive) then SC takes ages to populate the Thumbnail pane when set to simple list and just sits there with a spinning timer and the computer fan going crazy! If I change to Thumbnails then it all but kills my machine and I have to terminate from the Task Manager.

Changing back to the C:\ drive fixes everything.

I used to use the original Google Drive folder which synced to the cloud with no problem so I assume the 'virtualisation' of the process has affected something.
