Data Consumption/leakage and Google Drive Sync

OK, the result for 24hrs proved it the offending app was the Google Drive Sync as it was trying to sync an old work folder which was not needed anyway. I added 1Gb and it was consumed in 24hrs after exiting the sync app.. Still way high for my type of usage (I do a moderate amount of research but do not stream music/video exc. for an occasional news item). Of note is that I have worked from home for many years, always via satellite before retiring with all resources and systems being IP based. I went from WildBlue to 3G in one location and then to DishNet and now HughesNet in this location. What is curious is that when I began service with HughesNet my consumed bandwidth more than doubled, immediately, with all things being equal exc. that now being retired I am not at my desk for 8+ hrs a day and no more skype calls, web prezos, SFDC, etc. My usage s/b at its lowest.
I have chalked this up to be a difference in the way bandwidth is measured with HughesNet vs. with the other providers. I'll continue to keep and eye on this issue.
Thx again, all, for the assistance.
