    Webroot virus checker detected a virus in this installation and would not allow it to run.

    Still no refresh option. If I load files to Google Drive after I have started GDocsDrive, they are not shown in GDocsDrive list. I have to exit GDocsDrive, then restart it so that it can find the last 100 files added to Google Drive.

    A Refresh button option would help in this situation.

    Although this is a version from 2016 it still works like a charm.
    I’m delighted witht the way it works.

    Not having to use an webbrowser, makes it much cleaner and also doesn’t use
    as many resources as a webbrowser nor creates as many temp files.

    The statement that disk usage is almost zero is not correct.
    Disk usage is at least equivalent to the files being edited or used or played
    in the case of music or video being played or edited and appears in the form of temp files.
    Just check C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Temp\GDocsDriveTmpFolder

    To be able to remove all GDocs temp files quickly, I run everything “sandboxed””
    When finished. just removing (deleting) the “sandbox”, removes all these tempfiles in one fell swoop.

    You don’t have to restart GDocsDrive to see the last 100 files added to GDrive.
    Just give it a moment to sync.
    If I worked in 1 folder and the upload is complete -I wait a moment, then check if it’s reflected
    in My Drive,if it is, then check the Last 100 items.’
    No restart necessary.

    Will it work with Shared Disks?

    Thanks for confirming it does work for some users. I wasn’t sure if it was a design issue or something else.

    I agree that it should auto refresh, but I can leave it running all night, and the next day, it still has not updated the Last 100 files. The browser has no problem updating, but GDocsDrive seems to not make it with the update. I can restart it, and instantly see the updated list, so it is in the GDocsDrive code to read the list initially. If there were a Refresh button to “force it” to re-read the list the same as it does when it starts, it would be quicker than a restart. That would at least be a partial solution for users that are not getting the refresh.

    It looks like it works on some computers and others maybe not (at least not mine). I have plenty of resources (i7 with 16G DDR4), so it seems it is not related to resources.
