I have been trying to upload a folder to google. There are many subfolders and many GB of data. Sometimes the transfer status will act as if it continuing but actually be stuck at creating a single folder. I can stop the upload and restart. Typically it gets stalled on the same folder name.
When I go back to my original folder that contains the data I am uploading I have new folders all over the place! The most common occurrence is nested versions of a folder from within the orginal c:\upload\folder\folder\folder\folder\folder\folder\folder\folder\folder. Sometimes I have random insertions, c:\upload\music\folder\folder.

1. Why is the upload process creating folders on my local computer?
