Hello AI Studio Team,
I’m experiencing an issue where saving to Google Drive sometimes doesn’t work.
When I try to save, it shows the “Saving to Drive…” message, but it seems to get stuck there and never actually completes. The file doesn’t end up saving to my Drive. This happens occasionally.
Could you please look into this?
Thanks
Hi @grav,
I may not be able to reproduce the issue but thanks for reporting the issue, I will escalate the issue to the team
Thank you
this happens to me too sometimes. and Since yesterday, saving has also stopped to autosave.
Hi @grav,
To help us understand the issue, could you please provide the length of your prompt and specify if it was text-based or multimodal? Any other details about the scenario would also be helpful.
Thank you
Thanks for getting back to me. To answer your questions:
The prompt length is typically in the range of tens of thousands of tokens.
It’s a multimodal prompt, involving both text and images.
This happens to me often, and I only work with text with Gemini 2.5 Pro Preview 05-06. After about 10K used tokens, the chances of successful (auto-)saving to Drive are low. The spinner just constantly spins, and if I navigate away from the page, I’ll lose the updates to the prompt.
Got the same problem since yesterday. As long as I don’t refresh, everything’s fine, but nothing is being saved to Drive:
Typically starting a new conversation after around 100k tokens, I start to get increasing misbehaviour from then onwards - main use case is for speeding up note processing and reformatting; the greater the number of tokens the higher the chance it gets confused between images, and from then on it typically goes downhill (less and less reliable, and will acknowledge errors, says will correct them…and then repeats them, etc, etc)
