Links missing whenever file is reopend

Hello Everybody

I have several files saved on Google drive which have many pictures and pdfs linked to them from the same folder on Google Drive.

Whenever I reopen the files I can still see the pictures but it seems that the links are missing (red questionmark sign) and even though I re-link them, the next time I open the same file, the links are gone again.

My question is why does it do that and how can I prevent this?

I do open the files on different computers but allways at different times. Could it be that that is the problem?

Thanks for you help

Claudia

    Hi Claudia,

    I do not use Google Drive.

    The thread I linked to below does not describe your problem exactly but maybe its solution will help?

    The problem might have something to do with the way the files are stored and synced for "Online only". You can change files or folders to "Available offline", the option is found under the "Drive File Stream" option in the right click menu.
