Subject: Re: google drive
Hi Ian -- Yes, Google Drive can work like Dropbox. I've had no problems
copying files to and from my Google Drive using the Google Drive App on my
Macbook Air running Mountain Lion. You are limited to 5GB of storage
unless you purchase more. I do not care to use Google's web interface for
file management, but if you want to go that route I strongly suggest using
the latest Chrome browser and ChromeVox rather than Safari & VO. Chrome &
Vox just work better with Drive and Docs at this point. Here are the steps
I used to install the Google Drive App:
1. Go to drive.google.com
2. Sign in with your google account credentials.
3. Download the Google Drive installer for Mac. It downloads as a DMG
file.
4. Open the DMG and copy the "Google Drives.app" item to your Applications
folder.
5. Launch the Google Drives.App item from your Applications folder.
6. Accept the OSX security warning.
7. You should be prompted to login to Google Drive using your Google
account.
8. After successful login, you should be presented with two dialogs that
present some getting started info. The second dialog will allow you to
modify sync settings and to kick off the initial sync process.
9. You'll be prompted to enter the login credentials for your Mac.
You should now have a "Google Drive" item in your Finder's sidebar and you
should be able to copy and paste items to and from that drive. You should
also have a Google Drive item in your Menu Extras area which you can reach
by pressing VO+MM. Activate that menu to get access to basic config
settings etc.
While the Google Drive App and associated bits are nicely accessible to
VO, you might need to make use of VO's Window Chooser VO+F2+F2 during the
install process to find the dialog boxes.
HTH,
Bryan

using on the mac.
I think I am using the web interface, though I did try to download the
app. All I ended up with was a google drive finder window on my desktop.
I was under the impression google drive could work a bit like drop box
and copying files into the finder window would start an upload. This does
not seem to happen, so I started to try to use the web interface instead.
