googleapis usually google drive sync.
https://www.npmjs.com/package/@googleapis/drive
So you were uploading files to google drive.
The other way around - it says 75GB download. The point stands, though.
Downloading. I'll have to check my Drive settings, and I guess look in my drive to see if there's any suspicious new files in there, as I didn't think I even had that much in it.
So I believe it was the Defender full scan crawling the Google Drives mapped drive letter and accessing every file it found causing every file to be downloaded and cached. So I'm rerunning the scan with all my cloud drive agents disabled.
