I was thinking similarly. Any kind of programming language environment can leave all sorts of real + cached files lying around.

In the Python word, I just created a new virtual environment on Linux, and that had 1339 files. I then loaded it up with a few standard players (numpy, pandas, scipy, scikit-learn, matplotlib, dask, and django) - this ballooned the file count to 16,945.

You got me, node modules would. But who puts node modules in google drive? I wish google ill but even I wouldn’t wish that on them.
