Fix Google Drive not syncing with different devices

People share and store many files throughout the day, especially students and the working population. If the option to save all the data gathered throughout the day was an easy, everyday option, the world would have probably spent more time developing other technology than safe and easily accessible data storage space. But that is not the case, and regularly storing data in a safe environment is a very important service. This is the Google Drive service, and when you see that your Google drive not syncing with your devices, then there is a huge problem. The whole population unknowingly or unknowingly is using this feature. People have all the Google accounts connected and synced with one another; hence, every time someone gets a new file, folder, or document, on any device, it is automatically uploaded to the Google drive. So it is safe to say that with time people have completely stopped using other modes of storage services and completely depend on online Google storage. You could be using this feature on your android device, iOS device, or windows, and if currently you are unable to access your drives or keep them synced, you can try the mentioned remedies.
