I have Syncdocs configured to only upload files to Google and checked the Sync renames,moves and deletions box, and everything got uploaded OK to Google (about 43 Gigs). But when I locally delete a file and then sync the file does not get deleted on Google. What am I missing ?
Not Deleting Files on Google Drive when deleted locally

Often this is caused by Syncdocs not having permissions to see the deletions made by another app. This happens when the app runs with Admin privileges, but Syncdocs is only running as a normal user. The simplest solution is to run Syncdocs as Administrator, either by right clicking on its shortcut, or via the Start menu item.

Did not make any difference, but it did work for some files that I deleted while Syncdocs was running. Does Syndocs have to be running to detect local deletions ?

Yes, Syncdocs needs to be running to see deletion on the PC. It does not need to be running while deletions are made on Google Drive, as it will sync these next time it is run.

OK, that resolves the issue.
