What does Verify Setup check?

Short answer: It's a quick self-check of the background service, your drive, permissions and rules, with a one-click fix for anything off. Open it from More → Verify Setup…; it never changes your files.

Verify Setup… runs a quick self-check that the background service, your drive, permissions and rules are all in order, and offers a one-click fix for anything that looks off. It doesn't change your files.

Open it from More → Verify Setup… (in the Advanced view: Verify configuration…).

For a closer look:

  • Settings → Services shows a live traffic-light status for every background component.
  • More → Background Activity… shows each background job, when it last ran and anything that needs attention.

Many problems are repaired automatically; see Settings for self-healing.
