I have moved some old recordings into the directory I chose in boldbeast for my google drive cloud backup. I see new recordings being made there, but an initial sync does not show any files to be downloaded.

What could be wrong?

Google Drive has a strict permission mechanism.
The app can only visit the folder created by itself in your Google Drive. It is not allowed to visit other folders.
The app can only visit the files uploaded by itself. It is not allowed to visit other files, even if they are in the same folder.
