Collection sync isn't working with Google Drive

I had a similar problem. Here’s what fixed it for me:

Export and Sync features never worked

I had the same problem, but on MacOS Big Sur. The fix was to create a hidden folder called .fontbase inside the root folder. I think what’s going on is that FontBase makes a .fontbase hidden folder inside your root folder and writes the collection data to it. For some reason, when you change the root folder to a different location, FontBase forgets to make the .fontbase folder. Then, when it tries to read/write information to that folder it fails. At least, that’s my guess of what’s going on.
