Hello Brink,

First off, thank you so much for all the awesome customizing you've provided on these forums, t's my first time here and there's so much I'm excited to read about and adopt to my own PC. I think I've spent the last two full days reading as much as I could lol

Secondly, with respect to your original post:

"If you would like to have more than one Google Drive added to your navigation pane in File Explorer, then please post a request along with the full path of the Google Drive folder you want added. If you moved your user profile folder from the default "C:\Users" location or installed Google Drive to another location than the default "C:\Program Files\Google\Drive" location, please also include the new location."
I am requesting your help with adding additional Google drives. I would like the name in the navigation pane and it's location to be:

Google Drive - trelarah
M:\Google Drive - trelarah

Thank you for you time and assistance. Cheers!

Hello, and welcome to Ten Forums.

Here's an add and remove .reg files for your second "M:\Google Drive - trelarah" location. This will add/remove a second Google Drive to the navigation pane without affecting your first one.

Please let me know if you have any issues with it, or need any further changes to it.

Add_Google_Drive-trelarah_to_navigation_pane.reg

Remove_Google_Drive-trelarah_from_navigation_pane.reg

Glad to see this thread is still alive and well... The info in it has me syncing 3 Google Drives on my PC with all 3 in the Navigation Pane.

I was looking to see about adding a 4th Google Drive, but I am hitting roadblock. I read somewhere that Google only allows 3 drives to be synced on one PC at once. Is anyone here syncing 4 Google Drives by chance?

Thanks,
Merg

Hello Merg,

It won't hurt anything to try a 4th drive.

If it stops syncing them, you can just remove the 4th one.

Maybe I'm just having a brain-fart then, but I can't seem to find a way to even tell Backup & Sync that I want to sync the 4th drive.

If it won't let you sync the 4th one to begin with, then yeah no point in adding to the context menu.

Hopefully, someone may know a workaround to sync the 4th drive.

The Merg said:

Can you remind me where the option appears to add the second/third drive? Was it just that we ran the setup for Backup & Sync and it prompted us for our Google Account? Or was the option for adding accounts somewhere else?

- Merg

The tutorial is only good for adding one Google Drive. I'll need to create a custom .reg file for you to add additional Google Drives without affecting the others.

It just depends on where the full path location of the folder is on your computer for this 4th Google Drive for another account.

This article below from Google may help in showing how to add another account to sync the 4th Google Drive.
