So i think it really was full of "oh we forgot to delete these at some point" files.

Manually deleted the file from my GD, the duplicate was automatically deleted from the folder. I made a test, copied a file to my GD, this file was the duplicated into the newly re-created ".tmp.drivedownload" folder. More so, a new clean and empty ".tmp.drivedownload" folder was re-created by the app after being removed, so I believe this was ultimately just full of junk files.

Last step, i deleted the ".tmp.drivedownload" folder, restarted Windows and finally, again nothing was broken, so there we go.

Then I went ahead and moved the ".tmp.drivedownload" folder to a different (not-synced) location on my SSD and again nothing was broken.

Apparently nothing was broken on my actual Google Drive account after restarting the desktop app.

I first renamed the folder with the app closed, to play this safe and be able to recover if something breaks.

You can also choose the Sync everything in My Drive option to avoid missing out on anything.Ok guys, here's what I did based on Harry's answer and comments.

If you have no problem viewing your files in the Google Drive web app but find them missing while syncing them to your PC locally via the Google Drive Backup and Sync client, you must check your sync preferences and ensure that everything’s set up correctly. To get to it, open the Chrome menu and select Settings > Advanced > Reset and clean up > Clean up computer > Find. If you use Chrome on the PC, you can use the browser’s integrated malware scanner to remove them. Malicious extensions can also result in all sorts of issues. Then, re-activate them one by one until you come across the extension causing issues. You can do that by selecting the Extensions icon to the top-right of the window, followed by Manage extension. If Google Drive displays everything correctly, open a regular Chrome window and disable all extensions. If they don’t, you might want to delete the entire browser cache before trying again. Then, reload Google Drive and check if the missing files show up.

When you upload a new version of a file, Google will automatically keep the old version of that file for a limited period. To do that, select the padlock-shaped View site information icon on the address bar and select Site Settings. Answer (1 of 3): Google drive has a feature known as Manage versions which allows you to save several versions of the same file. You can delete the cache related to Google Drive and check if that helps. That usually happens due to obsolete site data. Sometimes, the Google Drive web app can simply bug out and stop displaying files and folders inside it correctly. You can always confirm if a specific file or folder was shared with you (and the owner’s details) by searching through your past email for Google Drive invites to collaborate. If so, you’ve got no recourse but to contact the owner for help. If a missing file belongs to someone else, they might have revoked your permissions or deleted it.
