Can you use “/” or “//” instead of `\` this?

It seems to me like the G drive is a virtual drive created by Google Drive Desktop App and this might be the reason. Try using a location on your hard disk (C: or any other addition drives you may have) and see if it returns the same error

That’s good to hear. You can mark it as resolution and close it.
