LTspice not writing a complete file

Question

I use Google Drive for desktop quite a bit. This allows for sync'ing files between system without concern. It has a "streaming" function which access the files in real time over the network and it has an "offline" sync'ing mode where changes to the file system are local and then sync'd. I use the latter. I've been doing this method for various programs and designs for years. I recently started using LTSpice and discovered that when writing to the my Google Drive (G:) files are not written in completion. 
 
 For instance., I can execute a "Save As" on this file to my local C: Documents folder and it works fine:

 You can see all 254 lines. 
 
 However, when I write that same file to G:, it stops short. Around 100 lines:

Hi jgauthier , 
 
 I cannot confirm if this is an LTspice issue or not because I am using a cloud for back up as well. We use OneDrive by microsoft which supposedly the same as the google drive that you use. and I encounter no issue of similar case. 
 
 Could it be that the connected was terminated somewhere in the middle while fetching the data from google? I can not say. But if it is a problem with LTspice application similar case should have been observed using OneDrive. 
 
 Thank you. 
 
 Regards,

Dear jgauthier , 
 Please update to 17.2.11 and see if this helps. We've already made a change to address such problems. 
 Best regards, Mathias
