<![CDATA[Recently Google Drive stopped syncing to a network folder.  This has been a conundrum for many of us that put it there so we can access it from various locations.  There is a work around.

1.  Download the old version of Google Drive that did work.
2. Uninstall Drive and install the version above.  You can point it to any share during the install process.
3. Disable Google Updates in the Task Scheduler.  If you don’t it will just update and break itself.  This will disable Chrome updates as well, so it is a trade off.
4. Make a new registry entry to disable Drive Updates.
   1. Regedit and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\
   2. Right click on the right hand pane and select New- Key, and name it Google
   3. Click on the new Google key (looks like a folder) to enter the folder.
   4. Right click in the right hand pane and select New- DWord 32bit value
   5. Name it DefaultUpdate and make sure the value is 0
   6. Reboot

Fingers are crossed that this works until Google changes it back to allow network shares again!
