Drive For Desktop
Pamula Harrison
Tip: If you use a work or school account, you might not be able to use Drive for desktop or your organization might have to install it for you. If you have questions, ask your administrator.
To find your files in Drive, search in Drive for desktop. When you search in Drive for desktop, rather than in Windows Search or macOS Spotlight, it ensures that your search includes all files from the Drive streaming location.
You can work on Office files with real-time presence when you use Drive for desktop. For Windows users with a work or school account, you can also send and save files with Microsoft Outlook. Learn how to use Microsoft Office files with Drive for desktop.
When you install Drive for desktop on your computer, it creates a drive in My Computer or a location in Finder named Google Drive. All of your Drive files appear here. Any new files or folders you create in Drive or Drive for desktop sync and appear on all your devices.
Access all your Box files directly from your desktop, without taking up much hard drive space. Box Drive is natively integrated into Mac Finder and Windows Explorer, making it easy to share and collaborate on files.
Create and edit any file type, including Office, CAD, and Photoshop, directly from your web browser. Use the default application installed on your computer, knowing your files are automatically saved to Box.
Keep the Content Cloud at your fingertips with a single, secure productivity app. Find, access, and manage all of your content. Seamlessly scan, record, and upload on the fly. Efficiently share and collaborate from anywhere.
Yesterday literally yesterday Feb 7 2022 . We previously had Sprint Drives and they had a website in addition to the apps. And I could set curfew notifications. This one has neither and I did not know that prior to switching. Ugghhh, we used both of those features constantly.
Ugggghhh is right! Sprint Drives were wonderful. Tmobile not so much. I also need to be able to view all work vehicles (9) on PC during the day, phone is fine for after business hours. Hurry up Tmobile and get something we can use! I can only speak for myself- I will have to come up with a different solution if we cannot view vehicles on computer screen, I have three dispatchers that were constantly looking at Sprint Drive until yesterday (9/14/2022) when we put the Syncup devices in the vehicles.
I want to add to the other comments on here that the Sprint DRIVE was SO much better than the SyncUP. 1. The data was in real time unlike the major delay i have with the SyncUP and 2. It supported my 2019 GMC Yukon XL and 3. You could go onto the website through a computer and download your trips on a monthly basis for business purposes.
T-Mobile business does have fleet locate by spireon which works on the laptop or desktop Mac or Windows. This program has worked great for me and has probably every feature you are wanting. They have a less expensive version that updates every two minutes and one that updates every 30 seconds. Came with obd adapter that makes it so when you look at the original obd port it is still there and you can not tell there is a tracker hooked in. The tracker is tucked up in the dash behind the dash board and the driver has no idea it is even tracking. Had to setup a seperate tmobile account that is only the trackers has a ton of features more than I even need.
Just adding that this morning I awoke to 3 mounted Brave hard drives on my desktop - have we made ony progress on understanding? Should I just uninstall brave? If so how can I assure all my settings and passwords and bookmarks will transfer? Thanks!Screen Shot 2020-04-12 at 8.51.25 AM2562742 904 KB
I have a problem very similar to What could cause iCloud Drive to refuse to sync Desktop & Documents?. I can't get the Preferences -> Apple ID -> iCloud Drive , Options ... -> "Desktop and Documents Folders" check box to stick. I check it and there is a spinning wheel and the text "Setting up" and then I press done. But when I go back again it is still not checked.
Later today I actually solved it. Mostly by chance. What I did was that I changed the computer name via Preferences -> Sharing -> Computer name:I did anyway want to change it and after I changed it and checked the terminal I noticed some folder name change in my home directory.
So after this I again tried to check the Preferences -> Apple ID -> iCloud Drive , Options ... -> "Desktop and Documents Folders" box, and this time it took longer for the spinning wheel and it worked. After allowing it to sync for 10 min and then a quick reboot I not have the desktop and documents folders under the iCloud Drive section in Finder and it is synced with all my precious documents and devices.
While upgrading to macOS Sierra I accidentally enabled storage of my Desktop & Documents Folders in iCloud. I quickly reversed that by disabling the option, then moving my files back to their place on my local drive.
Even though the option is now disabled on all my macOS account, I still cannot delete the Desktop and Documents folders from iCloud Drive. No matter what I do, they keep coming back moments after being deleted.
From my MacBook's Finder window, I deleted the empty Desktop folder from iCloud Drive and then immediately emptied the trash before the folder had time to reappear in iCloud Drive. The folder did not reappear.
The file was there in the Recently Deleted page so I deleted the file from there. It did disappear from my Mac's bin and them promptly reappeared after a few seconds on the Recently Deleted page and on my Mac.
To remove the file, firstly alter it's contents, in this case I renamed it to be a .txt file, then opened the renamed file in a text editor, added some extra random characters, then saved the file. As the contents changed, the hash used by iCloud also changed.
If you want offline access, you can add a tool like Insync (payware; multiple account support, desktop notification, symlink support) or Rclone (setup instructions; freeware; command-line to sync to Google Drive, Dropbox, Amazon S3, and OneDrive).
If you are asking generally about Google Drive integration with Ubuntu Desktop there are several available methods for conveniently accessing Google Drive. Many of those work very well (I use Gnome's Online Accounts feature). These are not Google products, but are independent projects that use Google's API for access. None offers the full range of features (like sync) that the official Google Desktop application has, because some of those features are simply not available using the API
I am looking to create a desktop shortcut to a network drive. We are on a domain, so I am looking to do this via group policy. I would like the shortcut to be placed on the users desktop and be to the network drive of \\server. I am having a hard time getting this to work. Most of the forums I have read through only show how to do \\server\othershare and not just plain \\server. It could be through a script as well, just as long as I can get this to work.
Hi, newbie here. When I created my initial vault, I chose to store it locally on my PC rather than in the Cloud. I would also like to occasionally save to Google Drive. What is the procedure for uploading files from my PC to Google Drive?
And again: You are looking at the wrong storage.
You have a virtual drive that appears when you unlock your vault. This is NOT the drive you want to sync.
And you have a storage path of your vault, where the actual vault files (the encrypted ones) are stored. THIS is what you want to sync. And this ist most likely not a network path but somewhere on your local storage.
Have a look here to find out where your vault is stored:

I've used Dropbox for 2 years without issue. My files are located in the dropbox folder on my computer. It has worked flawlessly. Suddenly, when I try to transfer a file (located within dropbox on my computer) to an external drive, I get an error message:
This happens because your external drive uses a different file system than your internal drive. Your internal drive (where your Dropbox folder is located) uses NTFS, while your external drive most likely uses FAT32. The NTFS file system can store additional properties with a file, while FAT32 cannot do that. Dropbox uses this feature of the NTFS file system to store additional properties for the files in the Dropbox folder.
When you try to copy a file from the Dropbox folder to the external drive you receive that warning because the file system on the external drive cannot store additional properties. Therefore, those additional properties cannot be copied to the external drive.
Hi,
2 additional questions:
Which kind of NTFS file information is added by Dropbox and for which purpose?
How can I remove these additional file properties except copying to a FAT32 partition and back again?
Thanx for any information!
The message apparently could not be just ignored because after transfering the photos (.jpg) from desktop Dropbox folder to the external FAT32 storage (USB stick), the photos are not anymore recognized by my TV (invalid media error). Because of that, if I plan displaying the photos on TV set I have to keep two copies of the photos - one (original) copy that has never been inside the Dropbox folder (to be able to display them on TV set) and another copy inside the Dropbox folder.
