Caution when handling Unfixed-info.bin
Q: Is this related to a Google Drive bug?
A: No. Google does not generate or use any file named unfixed-info.bin natively. The filename is always third-party software.
The Drive keeps versions. The Drive keeps hope. Each autosave is a tiny suture, a promise to return and finish whatever we started. But some things are better unfinished: they maintain the possibility of repair. Unfixed-info.bin is not broken; it is provisional, a bookmark in the ongoing work of being.
- IDM (Internet Download Manager) or similar tools: These applications sometimes create
.binfiles to store temporary download data or resume information for incomplete downloads. If you auto-saved a download directly to your synced Google Drive folder, IDM may have left a residualunfixed-info.binfile behind. - Browser Cache Artifacts: Some chromium-based browsers (Chrome, Edge, Brave) generate
.binfiles for site data or local storage. If your Google Drive for Desktop is syncing your browser's cache folder, these files can end up in your cloud drive.
2. Adjust Google Drive Sync Settings
- Open Google Drive preferences.
- Go to Settings > Sync options.
- Exclude file types: Add
*.binto the exclusion list. This prevents any.binfile from ever uploading to your cloud or downloading to your PC.
