Unable to save settings - Google Drive
已回答
Hello Community,
I'm using multiple computers, but want to work with the same project files on both. Therefore I created a Google Drive folder, which I can use offline via Backup&Sync. Backup&Sync also updates my project files if anything changes (of course only if I'm online). This solutions worked fine for me, but since 3 days I'm getting an error "Unable to save settings".
Is this error caused by Google Drive and is there a solution for the issue? Or an alternative?
Thanks for the help!

Please consider using version control to share the project between systems.
There could be some permissions issue saving your files, check idea.log for details (https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/articles/207241085).
Maybe disabling http://i.imgur.com/wzNHcXX.png would help?
Thanks for the feedback.
I disabled "use safe write". I will check if the error appears again in the next days, then I will try using a version control.
Hi Robert did this resolve your issue pls advise, as I wish to do same thing, I'm using multiple machines and want to just pickup where I left off as I transition between machines. I'm using Github with GitHub Desktop locally and want to put it all on G-drive including intellij
Yes it did. Now it works perfectly fine. I highly recommend it if you want to synchronize your projects over multiple computers.
The only issue I'm facing is the "Access denied" error. But a simple way to fix it: just pause the G-drive-client while you're working with IntelliJ. Afterwards just continue the upload and you're good to go.
I think this error is caused by the fact, that both the G-drive-client and IntelliJ are reading/writing the same file. Perhaps there is an easier way to solve this problem, than pausing the client.
Hope that helped you.
Pause the G-drive client yes that does make sense if both are reading writing which they will be I'll give it a go. Thank you
