Help Galaxy s7 Edge Android 7.0 thinks google Drive files are local

I have an s7 Edge on T-Mobile, and just got the android 7.0 update on Sunday (two days ago). Since then, I've been getting storage warnings saying that I'm near the end of my internal storage (32gb).
I also have a 128 gb SD card, with 16gb used.
The alert is from the MyFiles system monitor, and in it, it says that I have 92gb of duplicate files taking up room. Going into these duplicate files, there's a smattering from my SD card, and the rest are files on my google drive, with nothing on the internal storage.
I backup my phone to my university drive account, as it's a lifetime account with unlimited storage, but most of the files it wants me to clear are files that have never been accessed by my phone (primarily shared project files).

I'm a lot more technical than a lot of the people I share these files with, so I actually bothered to check before I wiped everything. Google hasn't seem to come up with anything apparently even close to this issue, so I'm turning to you guys for some help before someone wipes 3 years of projects so they can store more cat pictures.

Thanks in advance!
