As a Google Drive user who usually backs up files, have you ever thought it was good if the files we have can be directly uploaded to Google Drive via file explorer without having to open a browser and then search for Google Drive after logging in, we can upload existing files or download them existing files.
Now, we can upload and download files that are on Google Drive via file explorer, so that the uploaded files can be directly accessed by other devices that we have. We can also directly search for edit files via file explorer like the example image above.
The google drive in this file explorer is indeed similar to one drive from microsoft which maybe many of us who have been using windows for a long time haven't used this feature, indeed because we don't have a microsoft account to access it or also because we are already used to using google drive to backup files to the cloud.
That's why I made a tutorial this time, using an application from Google Drive which you can download directly on Google using keywords“drive for desktop” or you can download it via this linkdownload - google drive
Steps
After finishing downloading Google Drive, we will install it by double clicking the download file with an .exe extension.
There will be two options that appear, please choose, if the creat shortcut is not selected it doesn't matter because the desktop icon created is just a shortcut to open the Google Docs, Sheets, Slides application in the browser.then Wait until the installation of google drive is complete
Login
After the installation process is complete, a pop up login to the Google Drive application will appear as shown below
We click on the options that will then be directed to the browser and we choose which google account to use.

After the login process is complete, you can see that there is already a Google Drive application in the start menu (box1) and if you click it or open it, a file explorer will appear where Google Drive has become a new partition (Box2) and your files can be accessed by clicking on my drive(box3).
If you have clicked on my drive you can see all the files that are here as well as on your google drive in the browser

Well now Google Drive on your computer is in sync with the one in the browser, so you only need to move the files you want to upload or delete them, you can do it directly on your computer without having to open a browser.
To move files to and from your computer, you must have an internet connection, because if you move files to your computer, you download and move them from your computer to your drive, you upload them.
You don't need to worry if when you want to move files to Google Drive there is no connection, it will still move like just moving files to another partition, only the files that are moved will not appear to Google Drive until your computer is connected to the internet again.
Alright, that's the tutorial on how to add google drive to file explorer this time, if you have any questions, please comment below, hopefully it's useful, thank you.
