Hi, No, sorry. I'm pretty sure that things would act up royally if the Google Drive folder was on the Desktop. It seems to look in the Home Drive, and if it isn't there, the Google Drive app gets upset. If you're asking because you're wanting easy access to the Google Drive, I might suggest you either make an alias of the Google Drive folder and place that alias onto your Desktop, or place a shortcut to the Google Drive on your Dock. It is accessible via the Extras menus, but still not as quick as a Dock item.
Let me know if you need any other assistance. Later... Tim Kilburn Fort McMurray, AB Canada On Jun 18, 2016, at 11:25, Krister Ekstrom <[email protected]> wrote: Ah ok, i’m with you now.
