    Hi, i love notepad++, but for some strange reason when i exit from editing a txt file, the time is not updated on that file, that means that google drive don't save the last version online, how can i fix that?
    If i open the file again, i get the last version, is just that the modification time is not changed correctly.
    look, on that scrrenshot
    http://prntscr.com/7abjmz
    time is 12.47 , and file was already changed one minute ago, if i open it with notepad (the one who come with windows), the time is updated perfectly.
    Thanks

    Go into Settings -> Preferences -> Backup. Is "Enable session snapshot" checked?

    Session snapshot means that if you exit without explicitly saving a file, then N++ will save a copy of the file in its own backup folder. When you start N++ again, then it will display this copy instead of the actual file.

    If you want N++ to work like all other Windows programs, this feature must be turned off.
