\t\t\t\t<![CDATA[Recently Google Drive stopped syncing to a network folder. \u00a0This has been a conundrum for many of us that put it there so we can access it from various locations. \u00a0There is a work around.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \u00a0Download the old version of Google Drive<\/a> that did work.<\/li>\n
  2. Uninstall Drive and install the version above. \u00a0You can point it to any share during the install process.<\/li>\n
  3. Disable Google Updates in the Task Scheduler. \u00a0If you don’t it will just update and break itself. \u00a0This will disable Chrome updates as well, so it is a trade off.<\/li>\n
  4. Make a new registry entry to disable Drive Updates.\n
      \n
    1. Regedit and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Policies\\<\/li>\n
    2. Right click on the right hand pane and select New- Key, and name it Google<\/li>\n
    3. Click on the new Google key (looks like a folder) to enter the folder.<\/li>\n
    4. Right click in the right hand pane and select New- DWord 32bit value<\/li>\n
    5. Name it DefaultUpdate and make sure the value is 0<\/li>\n
    6. Reboot<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

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