Many users have a Google Drive account, where they store a large number of files. If we want to have access to them, the usual thing is that we have to access the browser, so that we enter the web. But the reality is that we have another way to do this. A way in which we do not have to use the browser. Which can be very comfortable for users.
In this case, what we can do is synchronize Google Drive on the computer. So that we can have access to the files we want, no need to access through the browser. A way that can undoubtedly be the most comfortable at all times. Here are the steps to follow in this case.
In this sense, it must be taken into account that the documents that created directly in Google Drive will not be displayed on the computer. It will only show everything that you have on your computer and have uploaded to the cloud. In the case of such documents that you created online, links are provided so that you have access to them. Something that seeks to help you enter the web.
The process that we are going to carry out is to synchronize Google Drive on the computer. The steps we have to follow are not complicated at all. It is a matter of a few minutes, so that we already have this synchronization and access to the Google cloud without having to use the browser in the computer.
Synchronize Google Drive on your computer
As we are going to use it on the computer, we have to download something on it. In this case what we have to do is download Google Drive tools, so that we will be able to use it on the computer without any problem. This is something we can do in a simple way on this web. Here you can proceed with the download of everything we need to use in this process. Therefore, download this on your PC and then we can continue.
What we download in this case is the Backup and Synchronization tool. Google will then show us the conditions of use, which we can read and then accept, so that it will be able to continue downloading it to the computer. When downloaded, it will directly run the tool in question on the computer. We have to start in this case with the configuration of this tool.
What we are allowed using this tool is select the folders on the computer that we want to synchronize with Google Drive. This is something that is optional, so that the user can choose the ones they want. You may not want any in this case, it also works. You just have to uncheck them all from that list, and you would be good to go. In short, that each one is going to choose the folders that they consider important in this regard.
Next we find a new screen. In it we will be allowed choose the files in Google Drive that we can download and synchronize on your computer. Choose the ones you want in each case. Since you can choose them all, or make a selection of those you want at that time. In addition, we can also choose the location that you are going to want on the computer, so that these files are going to be saved. You can also create a new folder for it if you see fit. Very simple also this step on the computer.
In this way, everything has already been configured on the computer. Which means that you will have access to Google Drive directly in it, or that you will be able to synchronize these files easily. If you use the Google cloud regularly, or is the main cloud you use, it can be a very comfortable way to work on your computer.
