I mount it using their desktop client and use voidtools' everything to search for files.
Works reasonably well, though Google seems intent on breaking stuff every so often. Also Google hasn't figured out how to make it stop creating desktop.ini files everywhere yet. I'd say it makes them look like amateurs, but amateurs tend to be better at making software.
- ipython 3y agoYou can blame a different megacorp for the desktop.ini files: those are artifacts from windows explorer (I’m assuming you’re using a windows machine with the google drive mounted)
- contravariant 3y agoPartially yeah, but that's usually a system file, which isn't supposed to be visible. Google drive for some reason decides to make it visible, which is damn annoying. This is a bit like Google drive adding two files named '.' and '..' to each folder in unix.
