Chrome Version: 67.0.3393.0
Steps To Reproduce:
(1) Fill Google Drive with any files until the available space becomes about 10MB.
(2) Create a ZIP file in My Drive that almost uses up the available space. (e.g. 9MB zip file)
(3) Select the ZIP file, choose "zip selection" command.
The intention of step(3) is create a new ZIP file that won't fit in the Drive quota (but local disk).
Note that it's usually difficult to estimate the size of archive file generated by zipping. Practically, zipping a ZIP archive file will result in the almost the same size of the archive as the original file.
Expected Result:
It doesn't leave a new ZIP file in the folder.
It shows error message telling the operation failed because there is not enough space.
Actual Result:
It creates a zip file on local cache directory of the Drive, then starts to sync it to Drive.
As a result,
- user sees the file in the Drive folder
- however the file is not uploaded to Drive.
- error message appears in the Files app until the file can be synced. (it continues to retry uploading, across sessions)
"Syncing... 1 error."
"Syncing Archive.zip..."
"Copy operation failed. There is not enough space."
or "Archive.zip" was not uploaded. There is not enough free space in your Google Drive.
How frequently does this problem reproduce? (Always, sometimes, hard to
reproduce?)
This issue is always reproducible by the steps above.
What is the impact to the user, and is there a workaround? If so, what is
it?
It causes repeated network communication.
As a workaround, user can delete the ZIP file to cancel operation, or remove other files on Drive to empty space and upload the ZIP file.
