I started using Google Drive awhile ago because my colleagues were. Easy to use applications that have the collaborative features we were looking for.
I didn’t install the Mac client for Google Drive that syncs the contents of your Google Drive to the local machine. About two months ago I did.
Shortly after that I noticed a weird thing that started to happen.
I would be happily typing along in some application and the application would move to the background. Click on the app or use the command keys to move the app back to the front…and it would happen again.
It was driving me crazy.
One day I was typing merrily along and it happened…again. However, this time I noticed the Google Drive Icon in the menu bar flash at the same time the foreground app moved to the background!
Sure enough that was the problem. Set Google Drive to ‘pause’.
Problem solved.
