Re-Google Drive

Hi Guys, appreciate help syncing more pictures to my existing Google drive.
I have a few new ones that I want to upload, but, when I sign in, it says " oops error, file not empty, either empty or create a new one.
Tried a new one, but still no good, I thought once set up, it synced itself.especially if it's not full;;
I don't store much, but would like to save these if possible.
I'm obviously doing something wrong, now,NOW,since I selected disconinue,??? every time I boot pc up, the google drive login box, is the first thing to appear, before I've even clicked Chrome browser.

Ensure your data is safe. As in, know where everything is, and have a backup. Uninstall Google Drive from your computer. The folder will still be in your user folder - get everything out of there, remember to keep your data safe. Delete the Google Drive folder.
Install Google Drive. This will give you an empty Google Drive folder, and it'll sync whatever you have in the cloud, down to your computer. Once it has synced, you can move stuff on your computer into the Google Drive folder. It then syncs up to the cloud.
Do it in bits, especially if you're doing big files or if your net connection isn't great. Let it sync each time (Little Google Drive logo in the system tray (beside the clock) rotates whilst syncing, and if you right click it, it'll show progress. Remember if you have ADSL that your upload speed is a fraction of your download speed, so uploading will be slow.
It can be flakey and scary so do it in bits!
