Download ##VERIFIED## Google Drive Content To Desktop

Got an unusual issue here. For a shared folder to which a dozen or so users have access, one of these users can't see Excel files in either the parent folder or any of its subfolders when looking at the drive contents in Finder. The rest of the Drive for Desktop app functions entirely correctly--everything else syncs promptly and correctly, it launches on startup the way it should, the user has access to everything he ought to, etc. Weirdly, however, this is only affecting this single user (using a 2020 M1 MacBook Pro running Monterey 12.5), and so far we've only seen it happening with Excel files.

I've already tried the following: rebooting the computer; pausing and unpausing the sync functionality on the desktop app; uninstalling the desktop app, rebooting, and then reinstalling it clean from Google...has anybody else seen this type of behavior? If so, anything else you can recommend from a troubleshooting standpoint? The weird narrowness of the issue seems just bizarre to me.

***UPDATE: On a whim, I tried the following just to see what happened: I quit the Drive app on his computer, then revoked his permissions to the parent folder in question. I reopened Drive to make sure the permissions had been revoked, and once I confirmed that, I quit Drive again and then re-added him to the parent folder with the same level of permissions. (IOW, no net change in permissions at all.) This time when I relaunched the Drive app on his desktop, everything populated correctly and he sees everything he should be seeing. We checked multiple subfolders just to be sure. So this is tentatively solved, but I thought I'd share in case anyone else ran across this.

While many people access Google Drive directly from their web browser or from mobile apps, some people prefer to have access to their files and photos directly on their desktop, just like files that are stored locally on your device. Drive for desktop is an application for Windows and macOS that lets you quickly access content directly from your desktop, helping you easily access files and folders in a familiar location. Drive for desktop also automatically syncs local files to the cloud in the background, which minimizes the time you need to spend waiting for files to sync.

Before launching Drive for desktop, we had two sync solutions available: Backup and Sync, which was built primarily for consumer users, and Drive File Stream, which was built for business users. Now, we're unifying these sync clients into the new Drive for desktop, bringing people the best and most used features from both Backup and Sync and Drive File Stream, including the ability to:

So yesterday I updated my Google Drive sync client from Google's backup and sync to Google Drive for Desktop. Everything seemed to go smoothly and I gained about 150 GB of free hard disk space after deleting the old Google Drive folder. Alas now I must choose to sync everything from My Drive to my local hard drive or stream files from the cloud to my PC (with some option to have certain files available offline).

The new Drive for Desktop now uses a mapped drive letter instead of just a folder on the PC. This got me thinking, if my machine were to get hit with ransomware / cryptoware would this make it easier to encrypt my entire Google Drive content? Or would it have been easier to encrypt content before? What best practices should be followed to reduce the likelihood of a Google Drive being encrypted - besides not syncing to it.

Personally, I've not seen the need to axe mapped drives in the networks I manage. Even if a remote share isn't mapped on a workstation, that wouldn't necessarily mean it's protected from being infiltrated by other network scanning tools.

I think there are more prominent questions to ask. More important would be ensuring that other best practices are in place, such as policies of least privilege and a solid backup architecture. I believe having those in place will deliver more value than indiscriminately banning mapped drives.

If the safeguards are in place, there is less need to take away quality of life features, like mapped drives, in the name of security, especially if there is not a blatant flaw or weakness in said feature.

Most cloud drives (thinking you Sharepoint/Onedrive) have versioning, but I am not entirely sure of the viability of using it as a way to avoid ransom encrypted files. In theory you are correct. I'd also say technically backup does the same thing, both have a problem though.

I know that most cloud drive providers have the feature of versioning so in the unfortunate event of a ransomware attack you can roll back to a previous version. Also if using virtual machines for servers and using snapshots, if the system is infected, you can roll back the snapshot without having to worry about paying a ransom. Of course it's critical to make sure the system isn't still containing any malware.

Even Longer Answer: The key problem that all 'auto-syncing' software has, is: how do we determine when a file has been changed, and should be synced? Do we check the actual file contents, assuming that a file with the same name should be the same file? How about tracking name changes? How about when we transfer files from one computer to another, and permissions (or dates) might change?

I've used Dropbox for 2 years without issue. My files are located in the dropbox folder on my computer. It has worked flawlessly. Suddenly, when I try to transfer a file (located within dropbox on my computer) to an external drive, I get an error message:

This happens because your external drive uses a different file system than your internal drive. Your internal drive (where your Dropbox folder is located) uses NTFS, while your external drive most likely uses FAT32. The NTFS file system can store additional properties with a file, while FAT32 cannot do that. Dropbox uses this feature of the NTFS file system to store additional properties for the files in the Dropbox folder.

When you try to copy a file from the Dropbox folder to the external drive you receive that warning because the file system on the external drive cannot store additional properties. Therefore, those additional properties cannot be copied to the external drive.

The message apparently could not be just ignored because after transfering the photos (.jpg) from desktop Dropbox folder to the external FAT32 storage (USB stick), the photos are not anymore recognized by my TV (invalid media error). Because of that, if I plan displaying the photos on TV set I have to keep two copies of the photos - one (original) copy that has never been inside the Dropbox folder (to be able to display them on TV set) and another copy inside the Dropbox folder.

3. On your desktop, right-click this .au3 file. and choose "compile script (x86)" from the context menu (AutoIT added these). An .exe file (e.g "stop-copy-dialog.exe") will be created on your desktop. (You can uninstall AutoIT and delete the .au3 file now.)

4. Move this .exe file to your Startup folder (where? press Win-R to run shell:startup)

Run it, or reboot, and you're done! It runs in the background forever. When this (or any AutoITS script) is running, you'll see a new icon in your tray. It's a small white tab with a green square on the left.

Obviously, this script is a crude workaround. I would LOVE IT if someone figured out how to suppress those dialogs in the first place!

For years I've created folders within dropbox and within the public file of dropbox at the end of the year when I close out files I transfer them to a thumb drive. I cannot do this anymore due to the error that says, "are you sure you want to copy these files without it's properties?' AND then if I do nothing exists within the folder. PLEASE HELP? I've been at this for three days and paid someone overtimes trying to take care of this issue.

Open this folder to display all of the contents of your All Files page on Box.com. You can navigate through any folder and open every file you see just as if it were a local file. Box Drive icons tell you at a glance the status of your files and folders.

You can also right-click a file or folder to display additional Box functionality to copy or email shared links and to view the item on Box.com. In addition, you can lock or unlock files, create Box Notes, search inside a folder, refresh files or a folder to update your Box content, and mark files to be made available offline.

If you use Windows, you can access Box Drive by opening Explorer and navigating to the folder named Box. Open this folder to display all of the contents of your All Files page on Box.com. You can navigate through any folder and open every file you see just as if it were a local file.

For supported document, video, audio and image file types, when you view files in Box Drive as Extra large icons, Large icons, Medium icons, Tiles, or Content, you will see thumbnails of file content, rather than generic file type icons. The supported file types are listed in this topic of the Box developer documentation. ff782bc1db
