Hi Erol,

For what it's worth, I was able to install the ExpanDrive trial on a
Windows 8.1 machine and it has connected to bDrive without any problems.

I am noticing that I'm unable to launch Google Documents/Sheets from the
mapped ExpanDrive into a browser. Not sure if others are seeing this
(screenshot below). I've added another Google Apps account into ExpanDrive
(from completely different domain) and I'm able to launch Documents and
Sheets into a browser from that account. Perhaps something specific in
bDrive needs to be turned on to support this?
