    google drive/flickr/drops box/one drive take up space on your desktop?


    Have not use Mega Account but Google Drive is fairly commonly used by many here.
    Here is the information:
    When you download Google Drive to your PC a default folder will be created in C:\Users\[your name]\Google Drive. If you want to change the name or location of this folder you can do so by following the steps below. This tip is useful if you need the Google Drive folder to have a standard url for all your company – for 3rd party apps for example.

    • Click on the Google Drive icon in your system tray (usually bottom right of your Windows task bar)
    • Click on the 3 dots icon top right and choose Preferences
    • Click on the Account tab and choose Disconnect account, your Drive will be disconnected but your files will stay on your PC
    • Click on the Google Drive icon again
    • Sign in when asked, step through the set up until you reach a screen with the option Advanced setup or Finished – click on Advanced setup
    • Click Change to choose the folder name and location – if you choose an existing folder it must be empty
    • Your files will now be re-synced down to your PC in this new location
    • Delete the old folder and files – if you want to.

    Hope this help you!

  4. how to stop google drive sync

    windows 10 & android phone sync? Is it possible to get google drive onto laptop instead of one drive........

    Step 1: download Google Backup and Sync - see this article how to set it up and configure it:

    Step 2: Download and install Google Drive and Google Photos apps on your Android phone and use it to manage and access all your files there.

    You can let Google Backup and Sync backup your OneDrive folder, so you can access them too on your Android or keep OneDrive and install the free OneDrive app for Android.
