  • Welcome @Ahmad! If you edit your question to provide more detail you are more likely to get a helpful answer. For example, is this on IOS, Android, PC? How many files are you trying to upload? Do you get any messages success or errors. Are you uploading over wifi or cellular? Etc. The more we know the more likely it is that you get help.

  • It is difficult to effectively troubleshoot this through a post however I would point out the following resources to help you narrow things down via the Google Drive API: Usage limits uploads (incl resuming). By testing using the API you can control for a number of factors outside your control and also get error messaging returned to you on failures.

On a mobile OS (e.g. Android)

In most cases, clearing the cache from a few problematic apps can resolve storage or performance issues. https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/clear-cache-android/

On desktop

Often, Google Drive and Docs (including Sheets and Slides) can fail to work properly. It can either be issues related to making your files and documents work offline or a simple case of the web apps failing to load altogether. And for the majority of issues, clearing the cache is often the best solution. https://www.guidingtech.com/clear-cache-google-drive-docs/

Smaller batches

Finally, try removing the images, and re-uploading in smaller batches.

  • I think the problem is with Google drive, since I don't only try to show my images in the web page, I am loading them to google colab and google colab only finds about 23K (Supposed to find 60K)
