Directly integrate Google Drive with your system

If you have already registered
with Google Drive and received the 5
GB of free storage space, then all your
documents till date are automatically
transferred over from Google Docs.
The service is primarily used from
the browser using the web interface.
But for more comfortable use, get the
online storage space directly on your
local computer with “Google Drive for
Windows”.
This functions like Dropbox with
a local folder for Google Drive, which you
can then use in Explorer.
The tool can be found at drive.google.
com. For installation, run the MSI fi le by
double-clicking on it in Windows Explorer.
You must log in with your Google account
for the setup. The subsequent request for
a mobile phone number can be ignored.
Click on “More”, and on “Advanced setup”
in the second step, which then enables
you to “Change” the local folder for
Google Drive.
Otherwise, this folder is directly set up
in your user profi le. In case you want to
select a folder, ensure that the folder does
not overlap with other cloud services like
SkyDrive. With “Start synchronisation”, you
are ready to start synching your docs.
