Project root directory in Google Drive
Symptoms:

2. Created files disappearing.
3. Corrupted files without names appears.
4. In the Project Structure tool window, non-existent folders appear.
5. IDE shows warnings that the file was edited externally.

To mitigate most problems, switch to offline mode with Preferences | Google Drive select Mirror files.
