Interacts badly with Google Backup & Sync #33

If you attempt to configure Google Backup & Sync on Windows 10 to backup the "tiddlywikilocations" directory, it will become confused whenever a TiddlyWiki is saved, and delete it completely from your PC. Often, you will then get a dialog box from B&S saying "The file has been deleted: Restore or Remove", but "Restore" will not actually restore the file. You can, though, usually recover it by going to Google Drive in a web browser and checking either "My Computer" or "Trash".

I don't consider this a ST bug -- it's bad logic in GB&S. If it can't be easily worked around (like with creates and renames, whatever) then just a release note.
