Change the Google Drive Default Folder

Testing a sample post to Blogger via email (we discussed)

Use this tip to change the default folder location in WindowsU

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 (see bottom right of Windows task bar)
  • Choose Preferences
  • Choose Disconnect account, your Drive will be disconnected but your files will remain
  • Click on the Google Drive icon again
  • Sign in, step through the set up until you reach screen 3 of 4 - then click Advanced setup
  • Click Change to choose the folder location/name - if 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.
