Rstudio and Google Drive Syncing Problems: “The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process”

EDIT: On further use of RStudio my solution didn’t solve it – The sync popup just occurs at a lower frequency. The problem is that Google Drive currently doesn’t have a feature to ignore Folders just filetypes.

This solved it for me:

  1. In Google Drive/Backup and Sync go to Preferences…
  2. Under My Computer click Change:
  3. Under Ignore files with these extensions add .rproj.user
