The GeoDrive service works together with the GeoDrive driver. The driver monitors file operations in the Windows kernel and sends file operations GeoDrive needs to handle to its service for processing. If the service is unavailable to the driver, the driver sends file operations to a spool file. If the service is stopped for a long period, the spool file can become excessively large and may fill up the local file system. The spool file exists in the GeoDrive Data directory.
