If it&rsquo;s your first time using  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcmag.com\/reviews\/google-drive\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Google Drive<\/a>, one question that must be lingering in your head is, &ldquo;Where is the Google Drive folder on my PC?&rdquo; After installing Google Drive on your Windows computer,  it creates a dedicated virtual mounted drive labeled as &ldquo;Google Drive (G:)&rdquo; by default and places a &ldquo;My Drive&rdquo; folder within it .  All your videos, documents, images, and every other file will be stored in this folder as a backup. That said, if you&#8217;ve ever wondered  how to change the location of the Google Drive folder on the PC , you&#8217;re in the right place.  In this comprehensive guide, we&#8217;ll show you two methods to achieve this and provide step-by-step instructions for each solution.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<h2>Install Google Drive for Desktop<\/h2>\n<p>Before we dive into the steps on how to  change the Google Drive folder location , you need to ensure you have the  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techrepublic.com\/article\/four-reasons-to-install-the-google-drive-for-desktop-app\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Google Drive for Desktop<\/a> client installed on your computer. If you haven&#8217;t already installed it, follow these steps: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Open your preferred  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/what-is-the-best-internet-browser\/\">web browser<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Go to the official  <a href=\"https:\/\/workspace.google.com\/products\/drive\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Google Drive<\/a> website. <\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Click on the <em>Download Drive for desktop<\/em>&nbsp;download link. <\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">After the download is complete, locate the file on your computer. Double-click on the file to run the installer and click <em>Install<\/em>&nbsp;when prompted. <\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Once the installation is finished, click <em>Launch<\/em>&nbsp;to run the app. <\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Sign in with your Google Account to finalize the process. <\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Once installed and signed in, Google Drive will appear as the G: drive in File Explorer. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can  add Google Drive to the File Explorer  Quick Access menu  in Windows 10  and Windows 11 by simply right-clicking on the G: drive and choosing the <em>Pin to Quick Access<\/em> option .  This will make accessing the Google Drive contents even easier via File Explorer. So, if you are in a situation that forces you to change the location of a Google Drive folder in Windows 10  or Windows 11, with Google Drive for Desktop installed on your computer, the process of  Google Drive change location  becomes a seamless solution to ensure your files are where you want them. <\/p>\n<h2>Choosing Between Streaming and Mirroring Files<\/h2>\n<p>You need to know an important detail before answering the question &ldquo; How to change where Google Drive saves  files?&rdquo; Google Drive offers two primary methods for accessing files stored in the cloud:  <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/drive\/answer\/13401938?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">streaming files and mirroring files<\/a>. The key difference between streaming and mirroring files in Google Drive is  <a href=\"https:\/\/technologyadvice.com\/blog\/information-technology\/cloud-storage-vs-local-storage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">where the files are stored<\/a> and how they are accessed.  Streamed files remain primarily in the cloud, accessible online, while mirrored files have a local copy on your computer, providing offline access and seamless local editing. So, before addressing the question &ldquo; How to change the location of the Google Drive folder on the PC ?&rdquo; you must consider which option to choose, depending on your internet connectivity, storage needs, and preferences for working with Google Drive files. That said, Method 1 addresses the cache files folder, aligning with streaming files that remain in the cloud. In contrast, Method 2 focuses on the  Google Drive change location  process for mirrored files stored locally. <\/p>\n<h3>Method 1: Changing the local cached files location<\/h3>\n<p>\nThis method allows you to change the Google Drive folder location through Google Drive settings.\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Click on Google Drive icon in the taskbar. <\/li>\n<li>Click on the gear icon and select <em>Preferences<\/em>&nbsp;from the pop-up menu. <\/li>\n<li>In the Preferences window, locate and press the gear icon in the top right corner. <\/li>\n<li>Scroll down and locate the current Google Drive folder under the <em>Local cached files directory<\/em>&nbsp;tab. <\/li>\n<li>Click on the <em>Change<\/em>&nbsp;option on the right. <\/li>\n<li>A pop-up window will appear, allowing you to select the new location where you want to save your Google Drive folder. <\/li>\n<li>Press <em>Save<\/em>&nbsp;after choosing the desired location. <\/li>\n<li>After changing the location, you&#8217;ll receive a notification to restart the Google Drive client. Click <em>Restart now<\/em>. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"screenshots\">\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__image-shadow\">\r\n    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Google-Drive-Preferences.webp\" alt=\"Click Restart Now\" class=\"lazyload screenshots__image\">\r\n  <\/div>\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__description\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<p>Your Google Drive local cached files will now be stored in the new folder location you selected.  <\/p>\n<p>Should you ever wish to revert these changes and return to the default Google Drive folder location, you can do so by repeating the same steps outlined in this method and changing the location back to the <em>C:\\Users\\yourusername\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\DriveFS folder<\/em>.\n<\/p>\n<h3>Method 2: Changing the Google Drive folder location<\/h3>\n<p>\nThis method allows you to change the Google Drive folder location when switching from Stream files to Mirror files.\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Open Google Drive Preferences window and select <em>Google Drive<\/em>&nbsp;on the left panel. <\/li>\n<li>Press <em>OK<\/em>&nbsp;after the prompt message appears. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"screenshots\">\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__image-shadow\">\r\n    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/My-Drive-Syncing-Options.webp\" alt=\"Press <em>OK<\/em>&nbsp;after the prompt message appears. \" class=\"lazyload screenshots__image\">\r\n  <\/div>\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__description\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>Click on the <em>Mirror files<\/em>&nbsp;option on this page. <\/li>\n<li>A pop-up window will appear, showing the default location of your My Drive folder. <\/li>\n<li>Click <em>Change folder location<\/em>&nbsp;to choose a new location for it. <\/li>\n<li>Confirm the changes by pressing <em>Confirm location.<\/em> <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"screenshots\">\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__image-shadow\">\r\n    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Confirm-My-Drive-folder-location.webp\" alt=\"Confirm the changes by pressing <em>Confirm location<\/em> \" class=\"lazyload screenshots__image\">\r\n  <\/div>\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__description\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<h2><strong>Free Up Disk Space with Auslogics BoostSpeed<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>One of the main reasons people opt to back up their data to cloud services is  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.makeuseof.com\/is-data-stored-in-the-cloud-secure\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">security concerns<\/a><strong>.<\/strong>  If your  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/digital-privacy-tips-on-how-to-protect-yourself-on-the-internet\/#what-are-the-best-ways-to-protect-yourself-online\">PC is hacked<\/a> and the data is damaged, you can always log on to your Google Drive account and restore the files and folders from any location. Others use the cloud service to move some of their files and folders to create more disk space.

I\u2019m Valeria, and I am an SEO specialist and tech writer for the Auslogics Tech Wisdom Blog. Although I don\u2019t have a formal tech education, I\u2019ve always been a tech enthusiast, passionate about exploring and learning new things, whether it\u2019s through travel, books, or the latest technologies. I stay updated with the latest news, ideas, and opportunities, with my go-to sources being the Search Engine Journal and TechRadar. Naturally, this passion, backed by my background in marketing and my curiosity, led me to the Auslogics Blog, where I combine my love for marketing and writing as an SEO and tech writer. I pride myself on my ability to explain complex tech concepts in understandable language for readers even without technical expertise. With over 5 years of experience in SEO and more than 2 years in tech writing, I specialize in guides on security, PC optimization, and resolving all sorts of Windows issues. This is why the \u201cHow To\u201d section of the Auslogics Blog is my favorite.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/valeriia-burmatskaia-dos-santos\/"],"knowsAbout":["Search Engine Optimization (SEO)","Content Strategy","Copywriting","Windows","Technology","Social Media","Digital Trends","Digital Security"],"knowsLanguage":["English","Portuguese"],"jobTitle":"SEO Specialist & Tech Writer","worksFor":"Auslogics","url":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/author\/valeria-burmatskaya\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20257","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/71"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20257"}],"version-history":[{"count":16,"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20257\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":95197,"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20257\/revisions\/95197"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/77767"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20257"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20257"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20257"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
