Anyone else having problems with SSMS crashing when saving files to a Google Drive File Stream (mapped to a local drive)?

Hi Richard,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community forum.

As per my research, rebuilding the Shell folder should resolve this issue. You may want to try the steps listed below and see if it works for you:

• Navigate to the following location:
  
  C:\Documents and Settings\<user profile>\Application Data\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\
  
• Delete the Shell folder, restart SSMS and see if it works for you.
  

Note: The Shell
folder will be rebuilt once you restart SSMS. Your connected server history will be lost, but the files will be retained.

If the issue persists, I suggest you to post your query in the
MSDN Forums,
as managing any SQL infrastructure is handled there.

Regards,
