Getting started Google Drive
To open Google Drive on a web browser, you can open a browser and navigate to https://drive.google.com. This is the basic interface of your Drive which has the options of “Priority,” “My Drive,” “Shared with me,” “Recent,” and others which you can see in the image above. In “My Drive,” you can have your uploaded folders and files and your documents. In “Shared with me,” you can find the files and folders that have been shared with you by other Drive users. You can create new folders by clicking My Drive and then clicking New Folder. You can also upload any files and folders by clicking Upload files from the same menu as above. If you want to download any folder from your drive, just click on the folder and then click on the ellipses (3 dots) in the top-right corner, and the list will appear. At the end of the list, you see the Download option. Click “Download” for downloading that particular folder. This is a very easy way to get started and have access to your files and folders through Google Drive.
Sync Multiple Google Drive Accounts Using Google Drive for Desktop
Conventional Way
One way to sync multiple Google Drive accounts to your PC is through the Google Drive app, formerly known as “Google Drive Backup and Sync.” Follow the steps below: Note: A maximum of 3 Google Drive accounts can be added to the Google Drive for Desktop application at a time. You now have access to 2 different Google Drive accounts actively syncing with your local PC. You can confirm this through File Explorer.
Unconventional Way
Another method to sync multiple Google Drive accounts through the Google Drive app is: One downside to this method is that although you can manage multiple accounts, only one Google drive account will be active at a time. You will need to perform the steps above again if you want to sync your primary Drive account to your PC again.
Sync Multiple Google Drive Accounts Using Web Browser
You can sync and manage multiple Google Drive accounts simultaneously using a web browser. Just follow the below easy steps to have access to multiple Drive accounts in parallel. The folder will now be synced across both Google Drive accounts, where making changes to one folder will automatically update it to the other Drive as well.
