Google Drive and SWP files

[loeb]

I use Google Drive to share SolidWorks VBA macros between several machines at both work and home. I have found that macro SWP files that are added to Google Drive using the Windows interface (versus Google Drive in a browser window) are not synced. Have others experienced this issue?

Yes, even if you manage to upload the SWP file to Google Drive. It will not sync later, this is due to the fact that it "happily" coincided that this extension is used for some Google service files. I don't remember exactly what it was about, but I found a thread with such a question on the Google Drive forum. It didn't end in anything - you just can't and that's it: add it to the zip archive.
