What is the Google Drive Partition in Windows Explorer tutorial about?
In the video tutorial Partition Google Drive in Windows Explorer you will be shown how to bring Google Drive into Windows Explorer.
We will have a partition with Google Drive right in My Computer; Thus, file exchange between PC and cloud becomes much more convenient.
What is Google Drive?
Google Drive is an online space in the cloud, which any user receives when he creates a Google account.
For users with normal, free accounts, we have 15 GB of storage.
This 15 GB is shared by all Google services like Gmail, Photos, Drive, etc.
For more storage space, it is necessary to pay a monthly subscription.
100 GB = 9.99 lei / month
200 GB = 13.99 lei / month
2 TB = 49.99 lei / month
How do we mount Google Drive storage in My Computer?
The Google Drive cloud space can be mounted almost like a network drive, but for that we need to use the special Google Drive application for PC
- We install the application
- We log in with our Google account and that's it
- The files deleted from the Google Drive folders on the PC will be kept in the Google Drive trash can for another 30 days, for possible restorations.
Why is Google Drive storage on the PC good?
If we refer to the basic version with 15 GB of space, then I recommend keeping very important documents as an additional backup.
For those who earn money from PC work, I recommend buying extra space to keep important files there as well
It is a solution that saves you time and gives you extra security compared to a locally stored backup.
Another advantage of storing on Google servers is speed. Speeds of 300 – 500 Mbps can be reached easily. This is because Google also has servers in Romania.
