Optionally, you can uncheck the “Browser history” option in case you want to keep the browsing history. If you're using a different operating system, you may not find it in the same place, so you'll have to go hunting for it.Select “All time” next to “Time range” and ensure all three options are checked. If you are using Windows 7 Home Premium (SP 1), you will perhaps find it in the same place. There are probably other files and directories floating around, too. So to help you out, here's a more detailed description: It contains a file named user_default, which contains files named pid, lockfile, sync_log.log, and directories named cloud_graph, CrashReports, and TempData.
WARNING: You cannot delete just any ol' directory named Drive it has to be the right one.
Step 2: Delete the directory named Drive. I can only say that indiscriminately deleting files, especially files you did not create, is a really bad idea. It worked on my machine, but I cannot guarantee it will work on yours.
This problem has plagued me for some time, so today I searched the web and found a lot of other people are plagued by it, too. I know I'm being pretty vague so ask away if there is additional information you need. The only time I've gotten it to work was launching in a temporary Administrator account I created, though it had all the same permissions that my current account has.Īnyone else seen this before? I found a bunch of posts on Google's product community forums but there never seemed to be a confirmed resolution and most thread were 2-4 years old. I've done what a few people suggested and tried launching with -vv for extra logging, installed procmon.exe to check for unusual errors in the process and made sure that it was not blocked in Windows Firewall. Double clicking the Drive icon does not launch the initial configuration window, the tray icon does not appear and there is no "googledrivesync.exe" process in taskman. I can download the application from Google themselves or and it will add all the relevant icons to my desktop. I have no problem on my work laptop running Windows 7. The main problem is that the Google Drive desktop application does not want to launch on my Windows 7 PC. Spent some time troubleshooting with Google Support and they ended up saying "it's a Microsoft issue, work with them".
