How to use Google Drive plugin on Windows

Post by *HAL 9000 »

I want to access my google drive account in Windows with Total Commander like in android, just mapped as a network drive. But for some reason I can't do it as easily. Could you please explain how to do that?

You can either install the client from Google - then you access it in a local directory. Or install my cloud plugin, it allows access similar to FTP.

I've got already your cloud plugin, and it's already installed, but don't know how to add my own drive account. Where's the option for that?

HAL 9000,
Like all file system plugins, in the Network Neighborhood.

Mal angenommen, du drückst Strg+F, wählst die FTP-Verbindung (mit gespeichertem Passwort), klickst aber nicht auf Verbinden, sondern fällst tot um.

Ok, thanks I've found it:

Choose Network from the dropdown list of drives -> Cloud -> F7 (Mkdir) -> Set a name -> Select Google Drive from the dropdown list -> Choose Proxy or Internet explorer -> Enter Google email -> Login to your google account when the Internet Explorer popup appears -> Authorize Total Commander -> Set Master password if you want to remind your password.

How to do this?

Post by *Pouqueville »

Im sorry, but Im unable to perform what you say.

(W10 1703, TCdr 9.0a x64)
- When I choose Network from the dropdown list, no"Cloud" appears. There are only WORKSHOP and the other computers on the network.
- Then F7+name creates no directory.
- Google Drive dont appears in the dropdown list...

What I missed? :(

All is right now!
:D

When installing the plugin, I left on Internet Explorer while I use Chrome. After reinstalling the correct plugin, everything works normally.

Thankyou to both of you :wink:
