The_IT_Guy Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 Does anyone know of a piece of software that will map a users google drive so it shows in their drives when logged into the network? I know iamcloud have clouddrivemapper but we do not need all the other parts of their package so it makes it a little pricey for what we need. Cheers
CyberDrac Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 I was looking at this myself and the semi official approach is to use the Google Drive client and share and map the folder that is used locally to a network drive
tj2419 Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 bump. Anyone know of any other alternatives?

markwilfan Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 Tried to trial expandrive. If their presales support is like their after sales I would forget it. Good product but nobody could tell me how this would work for 1500 users
AlanD Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 My understanding was that Google Drive - if mapped by whatever means - is always going to cache and sync stuff locally. It cannot make use of WebDav technology that RM's OneDrive Mapper and IAM essentially make use of. ...but I'll be very happy if someone can convince me otherwise.
