PNG export fails on Google Drive for desktop after updating to 126.11.7 (Windows)

 

Hello,

After Figma Desktop auto-updated to version 126.11.7 (Windows), I can no longer export PNG files directly to a folder in Google Drive for desktop (virtual drive G:, a Shared Drive).

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open any file in Figma Desktop 126.11.7 on Windows.
2. Select a frame and export it as PNG (1x).
3. In the save dialog, choose a folder in Google Drive for desktop (e.g. "G:\Drives compartilhados\...").
4. The export fails with the error: "Failure to save the file. '<filename>.png' could not be saved. The remaining files will not be saved."

What I already checked:
- The destination folder exists and I have write permission (other apps save there normally).
- No file with the same name exists, the path is short (163 characters), and there is enough disk space.
- Exporting the same frame to a local folder (Desktop) works fine.
- Launching the previous version (126.10.13) still installed on my computer, the export to the same Google Drive folder works perfectly. So the problem started with version 126.11.7.

Environment:
- Figma Desktop 126.11.7 (broken) / 126.10.13 (works)
- Windows 11 Home 10.0.26200
- Google Drive for desktop (Shared Drive mounted as G:)

This is a major blocker in my daily workflow, since I export approval files directly to our shared drive. Screenshot of the error attached.

Thank you,
Renan

    Same issue here. After Figma Desktop updated to 126.11.7, PNG export to Google Drive for desktop (virtual drive G:) fails with "Failure to save the file. 'example.png' could not be saved. The remaining files will not be saved."

    What I tested:
    - Exporting to a local folder (Desktop) works fine.
    - Exporting the same frame from Figma in the browser directly to the same Google Drive folder works fine.
    - I can create files/folders in that Drive folder normally via File Explorer, and Google Drive is syncing correctly.
    - Clearing cache (Help > Troubleshooting > Clear cache and restart) did not help.

    In my case it happens in "My Drive" (G:\Meu Drive\...), not only in Shared Drives.

    Environment:
    - Figma Desktop [126.11.7]
    - Windows [11 Home / versão]
    - Google Drive for desktop (streaming mode, G:)

    This blocks my daily workflow too, since I deliver client files directly to Google Drive. Hoping for a fix soon!
