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.

There are two identified workarounds for this -
1.) using the browser to upload files to google drive works fine; but is not desirable in some cases because this can take a lot longer to find the appropriate destination locations.

and 2.) I demonstrated was to restart the windows explorer process using windows task manager. This appears to allow the google drive for desktop to properly communicate one more time with the google cloud.

We also generated diagnostics to report to google - I noted that google has been updating the drive app every couple of weeks with bug fixes and so called enhancements; implying that there are stability problems with the google drive for desktop app currently.

I would like to have a virtual network hard disk N:(Nextcloud") among the network resources shown from my PC and to operati such virtual disk with usual drag & drops, copy & paste windows gui commands and sync any local files/folder to this disk with a right-clilc menu command.

Interesting detail: If i use MY-DYN-DNS-DOMAIN/remote.php/dav/files/USER instead of IP/remote.php/dav/files/USER, it works. But this will work only when only and will send all files through the internet instead of the gigabit ethernet.

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.

Before proceeding with data recovery, ensure that the hard drive is physically intact. Check for any signs of damage such as unusual noises, visible cracks, or loose connections. If the hard drive is physically damaged, you may need professional assistance for data recovery.

Recovering data from a corrupted hard drive can be a tricky process, but there are options available that you can try. Here are some steps to help you recover data from a corrupted hard drive on Windows 11:

The first step is to determine if the hard drive is physically damaged or if it is just a software issue. You can try connecting the hard drive to another computer or a different USB port to see if it can be recognized there. If it can't be detected, it may be a sign of physical damage and you may need to consult a professional data recovery service.

CHKDSK is a built-in Windows tool that can help repair corrupted hard drives. Open Command Prompt and type "chkdsk /f X:" (replace X with the drive letter of the corrupted hard drive) and press Enter. CHKDSK will scan and attempt to fix any errors it finds on the drive.

If CHKDSK doesn't work, you can try using a data recovery software. Follow the instructions provided by the third-party software to scan the hard drive and recover data from a corrupted hard drive on Windows 11. The process can take some time, so be patient and don't interrupt the scan.

About how to recover data from a corrupted hard drive on Windows 11, remember to avoid using the corrupted hard drive as much as possible during the recovery process to avoid further damage. Good luck!

Before proceeding with recovery, it's crucial to understand the type of damage to the hard drive. Damage to the hard drive can be classified into two types: logical damage and physical damage.

You can try to recover data at home from physically damaged hard drives, but only if the damage is superficial and limited to the external casing, not affecting the crucial internal components needed for storing and accessing data. As long as these drives can be recognized by the computer, there's a chance for data recovery. Check out this article to learn about how to recover data from corrupted hard drive.

Dev Drive builds on ReFS technology to employ targeted file system optimizations and provide more control over storage volume settings and security, including trust designation, antivirus configuration, and administrative control over what filters are attached.

When updating to the latest Windows 11 release, you may need an additional reboot before the Dev Drive feature becomes available. If you are working in a business enterprise environment, your security administrator will need to Configure Dev Drive security policy in order to enable Dev Drive.

Dev Drive is intended only for key developer scenarios and any custom settings will still be covered by Group Policy settings in Business or Enterprise work environments. Learn more about how to Configure Dev Drive security policy.

To format a Dev Drive on the new free space, specify the Label (drive name), Drive Letter, and Size allocation. The maximum size will be the amount of free space you allocated in the previous step, the minimum size for a Dev Drive is 50GB.

As an alternative to using Windows Settings, there are two options for creating Dev Drive storage volumes from the command line. Both options require that you open the command line as an Administrator. You must be a member of the Admin group to format a hard drive. These command line formatting methods may be preferred when creating multiple Dev Drives or as an admin for multiple machines.

A Storage Volume specifies how data is stored on the file system, via directories and files, in a particular format. Windows uses NTFS for the system drive and, by default, for most non-removable drives. The Resilient File System (ReFS) is a newer Microsoft file system format, designed to maximize data availability, scale efficiently to large data sets across diverse workloads, and provide data integrity with resiliency to corruption. It seeks to address an expanding set of storage scenarios and establish a foundation for future innovations.

The Dev Drive utilizes ReFS enabling you to initialize a storage volume specifically for development workloads, providing faster performance, and customizable settings that are optimized for development scenarios. ReFS contains several file system specific optimizations to improve the performance of key developer scenarios.

A package cache is the global folder location used by applications to store files for installed software. These source files are needed when you want to update, uninstall, or repair the installed software. Visual Studio is one such application that stores a large portion of its data in the Package Cache.

Npm cache (NodeJS): Create an npm cache directory in your Dev Drive, e.g. D:\packages\npm, then set a global environment variable npm_config_cache to that path, e.g. setx /M npm_config_cache D:\packages\npm. If you have already installed NodeJS on your machine, move the contents of %AppData%\npm-cache to this directory. (On some systems the npm cache may be in %LocalAppData%\npm-cache). Learn more in the npm docs: npm-cache and npm config: cache.

NuGet global-packages folder: The NuGet global-packages folder is used by dotnet, MSBuild, and Visual Studio. Create a user specific NuGet directory in your CopyOnWrite (CoW) filesystem. For example: D:\\.nuget\packages. Use one of the following ways to change the global-packages folder from the default location to your newly created folder (to manage the globally installed packages):

To verify the global-packages folder, run the dotnet nuget locals command: dotnet nuget locals global-packages --list. The restore will install and download packages into the new path. The default NuGet global-packages folder can be deleted. Learn more in the NuGet docs: Managing the global packages, cache, and temp folders.

vcpkg cache: Create a vcpkg cache directory in your Dev Drive, e.g. D:\packages\vcpkg, then set a global environment variable VCPKG_DEFAULT_BINARY_CACHE to that path, e.g. setx /M VCPKG_DEFAULT_BINARY_CACHE D:\packages\vcpkg. If you have already installed packages, move the contents of %LOCALAPPDATA%\vcpkg\archives or %APPDATA%\vcpkg\archives to this directory. Learn more in the vcpkg docs: vcpkg Binary Caching.

Pip cache (Python): Create a pip cache directory in your Dev Drive, e.g. D:\packages\pip, then set a global environment variable PIP_CACHE_DIR to that path, e.g. setx /M PIP_CACHE_DIR D:\packages\pip. If you have already restored pip packages and Wheels on your machine, move the contents of %LocalAppData%\pip\Cache to this directory. Learn more in the pip docs: pip caching and see StackOverflow to Change directory of pip cache on Linux?.

Cargo cache (Rust): Create a Cargo cache directory in your Dev Drive, e.g. D:\packages\cargo, then set a global environment variable CARGO_HOME to that path, e.g. setx /M CARGO_HOME D:\packages\cargo. If you have already restored Cargo packages on your machine, move the contents of %USERPROFILE%\.cargo to this directory. Learn more in the Cargo docs: Cargo Environmental Variables.

Maven cache (Java): Create a Maven cache directory in your Dev Drive, e.g. D:\packages\maven, then set a global environment variable MAVEN_OPTS to add a configuration setting to that path, e.g. setx /M MAVEN_OPTS "-Dmaven.repo.local=D:\packages\maven %MAVEN_OPTS%". Move the contents of %USERPROFILE%\.m2 to this directory. Learn more in the Maven docs and see StackOverflow for How to specify an alternate location for the .m2 folder or settings.xml permanently?.

Gradle cache (Java): Create a Gradle cache directory in your Dev Drive, for example, D:\packages\gradle. Then, set a global environment variable GRADLE_USER_HOME to point to that path, for example, use setx /M GRADLE_USER_HOME "D:\packages\gradle" in the command line to set it system-wide. After setting this variable, Gradle will use the specified directory (D:\packages\gradle) for its caches and configuration files. If you have existing Gradle files, move the contents of %USERPROFILE%\.gradle to this new directory. For more detailed information, you can refer to the Gradle documentation and explore community resources like StackOverflow for tips on managing Gradle configurations and cache directories.
