This should cause them to sync to the machine which will make the browsing experience must faster. However, once you're done these folders will no longer be in "Shared Drives" in the desktop application, but will appear under My Drive even though they are still owned by another user. Give this a shot, I still don't know that I'm sure that this will solve your problem. Mapping drives to an internet server SUCKS.Ĭlick to expand.Ok, obviously you want to make sure that you have room for these folders to sync to the individual machines, but otherwise you could do this without having to touch each computer your working on, assuming that your mirror settings are already configured for that computer. Wow what a nightmare, Dropbox handles this SOOOO much better. Maybe I make a folder in the owners personal drive then share it to the employees that way so that they can locally sync it. Ideally they would goto O365 with Teams and Sharepoint but they are pretty locked into Google as they use the Google web interface for mail and don't use Outlook. So you still have to browse through the slow ass G Drive that takes forever to populate in any explorer window.Īnyone with any experience on this before I move them to Dropbox? When you switch it from "Stream" to "Mirror Files" it only mirrors the data in the USERS drive, not the company shared folder. You cannot choose to locally sync a company wide shared folder. I'm thinking I need to move them to Dropbox or something to avoid this G Drive mapping thing. It works, but browsing or saving files through the G Drive is slower than ****! I have a client that was doing local sharing with Carbonite for backup and I sold them on the fact that I could push the data to a shared Google Drive folder that they would be able to access through their mobile devices. It's like mapping a drive to a cloud folder and browsing through it is SLOW for shared drives for clients using G Suite. The new tool maps a G Drive to the system allowing direct access to the files without having to sync them but it is SO DAMN SLOW.
Backup and sync was a little archaic as it required a full copy of the files on all computers that had backup and sync installed on. They recently removed backup and sync in favor of their G Drive streaming tool. I personally use Google for storing files for myself and have never had an issue with it.
