Usually, I just have students create a folder on the desktop and then drag it into the Google Drive via file explorer later. But sometimes no matter how much the folder connections are refreshed, it'll take a bit for the folder to sync up.</P><P>(Side note - we only really have access to Google Drive and Windows Network Shared drive as storage options. Public lab computers are on an occasional wipe schedule, so I don't have students save work to the public computers).</P><P>Thank you!</P> Thu, 06 Mar 2025 19:39:00 GMT SaraJL 2025-03-06T19:39:00Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/using-google-drive-for-vector-data-work/m-p/1593057#M93749 <P>Hello everyone!</P><P>I was just curious if there is anyone else out there uses Google Drive for Desktop (the desktop app for Google Drive) with ArcGIS Pro for managing vector data in projects.</P><P>Sometimes, I've noticed that there is a lag in the sync when creating folders - if I make a new folder in Google Drive, and then log into ArcGIS Pro - there is usually about a 5-10 minute lag at times for the folder to show up.&nbsp;</P><P>Wondering if anyone else has encountered this and what they have done to try and work around it!
