Add or Remove Google Drive from Navigation Pane in Windows 10

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.

Sorry, I'm not being very clear. I don't even have the 4th Google Drive syncing with my PC yet. As I recall, you install the Google Drive software multiple times on your PC, but just use different Google Accounts for each install. I'm trying to figure out how to get the Google Drive to sync with the PC in the first place. I just don't know if I just can't remember how to do it or if I am not seeing the ability to do it because I already have 3 drives.

Your registry edits are just to get the drives added correctly to the Navigation Pane, right?

Yeah, so it appears to be a limitation with Backup & Sync. I found that if you right-click on the sync icon in the system tray and then select the 3 dots on the pop-up that you get a context menu to show up. On that menu, under the option for "Preferences" there should be an option for "Add Account".

Apparently, since I already have 3 accounts added, that option is not available for me.

I am a little bit lost at how this works. Where do I enter in my email and password so I can actually access the drive. Can you please provide some additional details? Sorry for my ignorance.

Hi there Brink!
could you make one for me?
My 'Drive File Stream' is located here:
G:\My Drive

Cheers!

Hello Tristatenl, and welcome to Ten Forums.

Here's an add and remove .reg files for your "G:\My Drive" 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_Drive_File_Strream_to_navigation_pane.reg

Remove_Drive_File_Strream_from_navigation_pane.reg

Thanks for that!
The icon still looks like folder though, not the drive icon.. know how to fix that?
