Add or Remove Google Drive from Navigation Pane in Windows 10  

Brink/ KBird
Thanks for the continued interest . I pinned GDrive to Quick Access like KBird suggested.
The properties path for the GDrive in the nav pane AND the path via quick access is the same viz: E:\






Like KBird, - from within Reader, - I can open a .pdf using the GDrive icon in QA, - but not the isolated GDrive icon in the Nav Pane
The story is different for Word and Excel. I'm using old versions (I'm a pensioner). Sadly neither application displays "quick access" in the "open file" dialogue
From within either application, - using the isolated GDrive icon I get a message suggesting the path is c:\users\peter\Google Drive








I've searched the registry for mentions of Google drive and c: together but can find nothing
All a bit barmy really?

 

Show fixed drives in navigation pane

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I understand your concern, I will be glad to assist you with this.

In order for the drives to appear in the navigation pane, I would suggest you to pin the drives in quick access. This way, every time you open file explorer, you will be able to easily access and see the drives on the navigation pane. To do so, follow the
steps below:

1. Press Windows key + E to open file explorer.

2. Click This PC on the left pane.

3. Left click on a drive and drag it under the quick access pane and release the mouse once you see the "pin to quick access" popup

4. Repeat the steps for the remaining drives.

Hope this helps.

Let us know if you need further assistance, we will be glad to help.
