Windows 10: Add or Remove Google Drive from Navigation Pane in Windows 10

Thanks Brink! *Smile

Update:

The GD drive appear on navigation pane after restarting. But it display an error like this:

===

I run the "Create folder" registry before I changed the default Google Drive folder location and it worked fine. After I changed the default Google Drive folder location, the Google Drive folder on navigation pane didn't work anymore.

So I run "Remove Google Drive" registry and the GD folder disappear. However when I run the "Create folder" registry again, the Google Drive folder won't show up in the navigation pane anymore. How do I fix the issue?

Thank you!

 

maurisrx,

Did you merge the correct add Google Drive .reg file from step 2 or 3 to add it back to the navigation pane?

 

Yes, I use the 64bit version .reg file for all attempts. Ia there extra step that I need to do?

 

If you have 64-bit Windows 10 installed, then that's normally all you need to do. You might restart the computer to see if that may apply it though.

 

Thanks! I'll try it again.

 

If you moved your google Drive to somewhere other than the Default location you need to change the Folder location in the registry to that location , it does not even require a reboot , just pen it again in Explorer (after running the Add.Reg. file of course)

See Post No#8 for what I needed to do and the Registry entry to change here :

Thank you very much Brink and KB! Finally I made it work after following KB's tutorial to change default GD folder registry.

 

Hello Brink,

thanks a lot for the really nice tutorial!
It really works nice for the navigation pane, but only in the explorer windows.
However, the navigation pane in the open and save dialog of windows still doesn't show the Google Drive, whereas Dropbox and Onedrive show up here (although I have disabled the latter one with the other tutorial found in this forum). Any idea how to fix this and show the Google Drive also in the open and save dialog?

Thanks a lot,
Ruediger

 

Hello Ruediger, and welcome to Ten Forums. *Smile

Google Drive is showing in "Save as" dialogs for below.





Double check to make sure that you used the correct 32-bit or 64-bit .reg download for the Windows you have installed. If you did, then you might see if restarting the computer may help.

If not, then please go ahead and post a screenshot showing your Save as dialog to see if anything may stand out.

Hi Brink,

thank you very much for the very quick response.
I am actually not using Google Drive, but tried to adapt your script for my business and personal cloud storages (my hospital uses owncloud, I use seafile at home).
Thanks to you I've found the mistake, now I can use both clouds directly within the explorer. I had to close and restart the application, then the open and close dialogs started working. That was strange, because the explorer worked right away.

Thank you so much!



P.S. Interestingly, the OneDrive folder is still there in some applications, e.g. Acrobat DC, but in others it is not. I'll post that to the correct tutorial. Thanks again.

 

Great news Ruediger. *Party

 

Shall I send you my created reg files so you can provide tutorials for Seafile and Owncloud users as well?
Thanks,
Ruediger

 

Sure if you would like to. *Smile

 

Sure.
I would be happy to contribute to the community as well, although I just changed your reg files to match other cloud providers.
How can I share the reg files within the forum?

 

You could just upload them here if you like.
