How to Easily Setup Google Drive as a Local Drive of Your Computer

It is really great to make Google Drive as a local drive, where you can work inside as an extended local drive meanwhile the working files are also saved online

I usually used Google Driver to store photos and files by uploading them into it through browser. Sometimes, I also use Google Colab to train my deep learning models. I have three Gmail accounts, and I set up my three Google Drives as three local drives of my PC. They are working so well and smoothly, just like other local built-in Drives.

The setup process is very easy, and I divide it into the following steps.

Step 1: Install Google Drive Desktop

Click this link, or just search Google Drive desktop online. Next, click Download Drive for Desktop for your system. After downloading, just click the installer to install it. Installation process is very straightforward. At the beginning, you can tick “Add an application shortcut to your desktop” so that it create an application icon on the desktop.
