My main machine has 32GB of RAM, and I bet this helps alleviate the burden of large sync tasks, but here is a link to the issue Google Drive has:

Those are the words of a Google employee. Offering a product that is fundamentally flawed is unacceptable -- Google or otherwise.
> We've released a new version
Didn't work for me. Then I started getting other errors, so I gave up.

Error D41D on Windows is a memory error. The Windows version of the product currently has difficulty syncing large numbers of files at once due to the memory constraints on 32-bit applications, even if your machine has a lot of memory. The number of files it can handle at once varies a bit, but it can't reliably do a million at once. The actual size of the files isn't much of a factor.
I would recommend moving those files back out of your local Drive folder and starting the app. Once it has settled, move them in a little at a time, preferably fewer than 100k at once, waiting for the sync to complete before the next batch. The limitation is not on the number of files synced, but the number of files actively syncing.
If you later need to sync all these files down to another Windows machine, you will probably need to use the Selective Sync option to only sync down a few folders at a time, adding more later.
If you happen to have a Mac available to do these uploads, this limitation should not exist in the Mac version of the client.
- josefresco 9y ago"preferably fewer than 100k at once" Lulz - this is false/ won't work. I tried 50K, 10K, 5K, 1K - still crashed. Manually syncing my 4.4M files <1K at-a-time is insanity.
