    Google keeps warning of full Google Drive online, however, when I look at the Drive folder, it only uses 1/3 of the available 15GB of free storage. Does anyone know why?

    Google drive has a selective sync option, so you can't assume that everything in your local folder reflects what you have online.

    Go to drive.google.com and manage your storage there.

    Look in your google drive trash to see if the usage is hiding there :)
