Download My Drive Icon

Since most Windows versions and Windows programs have moved or will move to 64-bit, this icon can now be found here. Take note, the icon displayed on the .exe is (probably) the one you're looking for, but that .exe contains a dozen or so icons if you choose it as a source, just like most do.
You don't need pre-approval to use the Google Drive logo. However, the Google Drive API Terms of Service governs your use of the logo, and if that use violates branding requirements inthe terms, Google might request that you modify or cease usage of the logo.
You can use the logo to highlight your application's integration withGoogle Drive. If reference is made to the Google Drive logo inconnection with your logo, your logo must be larger than the Googletrademark.
When using the Google Drive icon as a button, provide a tooltip indicatingthe action the button performs with Google Drive. For example, a buttondesigned to save files to Google Drive should have the tooltip of "Save toGoogle Drive." Other than the tool tip, don't alter the Google Drivelogo in any way.

If you look under the View menu of Finder you'll find the sort option. I suspect you've selected None. I prefer a completely orderly desktop (with just a couple icons showing) and I choose the Snap to Grid option. I've also been know to choose the Name option. If you aren't using it, try Snap to Grid
I have an external hard drive connected to my Mac, and it is partitioned into two parts. One is called Time Machine Backups (and, as you might guess, it's where Time Machine backs up to). The other partition is soon to be Windows, and I would like to change the icon of said partition to reflect this. I have my image, but when I go to change it (trust me, I've tried most of the recommended ways, including drag-and-drop, Cmd-C and Cmd-V, everything), I can drag-and-drop etc. and it will let me, but the icon doesn't change to what I want, it changes to the default image for PNG, JPEG, etc. It doesn't show what I want it to, even after logging out and logging back in. Is there any way to change the icon to what I want?
One strange thing which I think might have relation to the problem is that Parallels Desktop shows the drive as 'Read Only', which it is not and says 'You can read and write' on the info and I can read and write.
Usually opening a png file with alpha in preview and copying it and pasting the clipboard to the drive info icon area works, however, this problem might have to do with how 10.10.5 deals with ExFAT formats.
It's crazy, well, I came up with a new meaningful name for the drive so I'll live with a NEW name for the sake of the correct icon. It's really stupid. I'm really amazed OSX still having stupid bugs like this...
One of the tools I user for creating icons from images is the aptly named Image2icon. It can create an icon from just about any image, and attached it to disk, folders, etc. The paid version is needed for automatically applying an icon to a drive, but you can just as easily use the app to attach an icon to a folder which it does for free. You can then just copy past that icon on to a drive.
You should be able to copy paste the image into a folder or disks thumbnail representation when the items Get Info window is open. This hasn't changed in years. (see the link Personalize Your Mac by Changing Desktop Icons for details)
The advantage of using an icon creation app is that you will have a complete icon set, that is the icon will included all the various sizes likely to be used by your Mac, from 16x16 all the way up to 1024x1024 at 144 DPI. You won't get that from the simple copy/past of a JPEG.
I've always been able to use jpeg images in the past for icons. Is this something new? I just upgraded to a new imac, but have been using macs for 10 years. There has to be a way to do this without using a downloaded application...?
Right, I should be able to, is the key phrase. But, just like the poster of this thread, I was having the exact same issue. When I paste, or drag and drop, my jpeg file onto the disk icon, under get info, all I get is an icon of the jpeg file image...not the picture.
Luckily, I figured out what I was doing wrong. I was copying the file associated with the photo. Instead, what I should have been doing was opening up the photo in preview and copying it from there. It was a silly mistake for sure, but clearly I was not the only one making it. Hopefully this saves some time for people that might be having the same issue, that also have no interest in using outside software to accomplish something that should be simple.
I have Mac OS X as my main OS and I tried to change the icon for my Yosemite partition. I had to boot into Yosemite and change the icon there. The change was accepted and appeared back on my Mac OS X.
Want to change the icon of my main drive. I have a bunch of drive icons from interfacelift. They appear to be just .icns packed in the resource fork (%file returns empty, and %cat prints nothing, which is fine, I understand why). My understanding is the way to use these was:
Select the Application you wish to change the icon of, press cmd i, and look at the bottom of the window. Change "everyone" to read/write and then proceed to drag and drop your icon on the applications icon within the info pane. Don't forget to change the permissions back to read only for "everyone" when you're finished.
sigh figured it out. Should have tried this first. I needed to give myself write permissions to the drives. Just added my account as read-write to the drive itself from the info pane. Everything worked after that.
Check to make sure you downloaded the correct version. I just went to interfacelift.com, selected an icon set, chose Mac OS X download. The icon set downloaded and unpacked as folder with the icons as folders. I then followed the same steps you listed above and changed the icon of one of my drives.
I have found that OSX 10.6 default permissions can cause the problem in third party applications. There is generally not a problem changing Apple icons, because they require your password. To edit the permissions:
I can see my external hard drive in the Finder Window, but it's not showing up on the desktop (which is clicked as a choice in the Finder preferences). I'm using a second monitor. I've seen this particular drive many times on the Desktop ... but for some reason it's not making itself viewable all of a sudden.
once finder is rebooted/relaunched, check finder preferences, make sure Hard Disks option is checked. See if it now shows on desktop. Path to finder preference list below. The preference file is found only by accessing the Users/Home Library, by default this Library is hidden but can be made visible by clicking on the Go menu item in Finder and then pressing the Alt key. there are other ways to make this feature permanent.
Did as you suggested. Interesting to note that there were five .plist files for the Finder, the regular one, and four others with suffixes (codes) ... as if Apple was automatically creating new .plist files on the go. I moved them all out of Preferences. Rebooted Finder. Re-clicked 'Hard Drives' and 'External Hard Drives'.
And I can find it in the Finder, and open it, and work on it every day, no issues. Just don't see the icon on the desktop. Maybe after I do a reboot of the computer something may happen with the new Finder .plist. I'm in the middle of cutting a long film ... and once Final Cut is up and running I hate to do reboots.
This question may have already been answered, but I tried several phrasings in my searches and could not find anything similar. So here's the problem: I have a backup drive with a custom icon. At random times, roughly ten times an hour, Monterey redraws the icon for the backup drive as a simple folder, then changes its mind and redraws the custom icon correctly. I wouldn't mind the bug but for the fact that the activity is as distracting as one of those infuriating web advertisements that flashes something on and off.
If you set a custom icon, on a standard folder stored locally on the startup volume, does the icon you set remain, regardless of items being copied or removed from the folder? What if you create a folder on the thumb drive, can you reproduce the behavior with a custom icon set for that folder?
We ask to help isolate the behavior. As your Time Machine drive is accessed regularly by the system, it may not behave the same way we'd expect a normal locally stored folder to. Similarly, removable storage volumes have their own properties as well.
