| Missing fonts on another computer | Fonts not in Google Drive | Use Type > Create Outlines for text in final deliverables, or include font files in the folder as described in Part 4. |
| Google Drive keeps re-downloading files | File permissions or ownership changes | Right-click folder > "Always keep on this device" (Windows/macOS). | adobe illustrator cs6 google drive
