How do I access Google Drive files directly on my desktop?

All campus computers have the Google Drive client installed, if it is your first time using it on a particular PC you will need to start the program and sign in.

  • In the Windows Start Menu, search for the Google Drive application and start it. 
  • You will be redirected to your default web browser, follow the steps to authenticate.
  • Once the application is running and you are signed in, Google Drive will be available in your file browser as Google Drive (G:).

Future sign ins on campus PCs will start the software automatically, you will not need to manually start the application or sign in each time.
