Setting Up Google Drive on Workstation


Google Drive offers a free, basic version that provides up to 15 GB of online cloud storage. It is not necessary to upgrade to any of the paid versions - the free basic edition satisfies The Edge requirements

enlightenedTo use your Google Drive with The Edge, you will need to have Google Backup and Sync installed on your workstation.

There is no special configuration in the Google Drive desktop app, but you should verify that it is set to sync

To do so:

  1. Locate the Google Drive icon in your Window's system tray (bottom right, by the clock).
