'Can I make Google Drive available on my home network as a network drive?

Can I create a connection on one computer or device that exposes my drive to the rest of my network as a network shared drive?

My specific use case is that I have an older scanner that is connected to my wife that scans files and can send them to an email address, or to a network shared location. I’m trying to get it to send files directly to my Google drive though. Is there any way I can have computer connect to drive that lets the rest of the network see it as a shared drive?

Google Drive integration into Windows means that there will be some folder that acts as the Google Drive drop folder.

That folder, typically under your Documents folder can be Shared:

  • Right-click
  • Properties
  • Sharing tab
  • Click Advanced Sharing
  • Check Share this folder
  • Click Permissions
  • Grant Everyone the Change permission

Good question, totally fits StackOverflow, and definitely shouldn't be closed.
