Seems like a pain to fix, since the issue is with Google and Google apps never work 100% always 50%/50%.

Also this isn't a major issue affecting Google profits so I doubt they will care about it.

Just make life easy by installing ES File Explorer from the Google Play store and upload the savestates onto the servers then Install ES File Explorer on your HTC and TouchPad and transfer the saves.

You can also use Gmail and upload it as an attachment and email it to yourself then download it, you then next use the built in file manager to move the savestate into its proper folder.

If nothing is on your Google Drive after uploading a savestate, then create a folder named 'DraStic' on your Google Drive manually and try the upload again.
There's sometimes a problem with creating the folder automatically, which prevents anything from being able to upload.
That should hopefully be fixed with 2.5.0.0a, though.

Thank you to Lordus and Exophase, Google Drive now works as intended.

Check to make sure that you MUST HAVE the >Drastic< folder in your Google Drive app or browser.

Then upload it onto Google Drive via Drastic app settings. When you load up a game>go to menu>options>manage savestates>tap a savestate>you will see 5 options PLAY, COPY, DELETE, DOWNLOAD FROM GOOGLE DRIVE AND UPLOAD TO GOOGLE DRIVE>Upload to Google Drive>then Download from Google Drive on your new device that you wish to transfer the save from.

That's how it works. I can confirm it works because I just tested it...

If you don't create a >Drastic< folder on Google Drive and you force the upload and think it will automatically create the >Drastic< folder for you... well it won't and even though it says successfully uploaded to Google Drive it's actually not there nor is the Drastic folder
