    Im using windows 8.1 on my asus a46c 4gigs RAM and core i3.
    im suffering google drive memory leaks after about a half hour of usage. Restarting gdrive fix the memory leak, but i'll suffer another gdrive memory leaks after half hour usage.
    I search on google and i've found an old post that said google will not fix this on windows.
    I hate to install gdrive and download all of the stuff just only to found that the bugs didnt fix yet.
    Is it fix already?
    I know a workaround using restarting script to avoid memory leaks. But its not my style using some workaround like that.
    Do you guys have a suggestion for me?
