Look no further than using Google Drive as an FTP server or network drive. In this guide, we will walk you through the steps on how to configure RaiDrive to connect with Google Drive.

Assigning Units

Before you start, it's essential to assign distinguishable names to your units. By default, RaiDrive labels it Drive Z, and I've chosen to keep it that way. You can choose the unit id from the drop-down menu.

Connecting to the Community Drive

Once your credentials and permissions are verified, you will see the Community Drive. When prompted for your permissions, click Allow. After placing RaiDrive, open it and the app will present a welcome screen.

Configuring RaiDrive for Network Drive

You don't need to merge the folder with your computer or worry about storage space when using Google Drive as an FTP server or network drive. This means you can access your files from anywhere without taking up valuable local storage on your computer.

Limitations of Normal Backup and Synchronization Methods

While normal backup and synchronization methods are excellent, there are some limitations to consider. For example, you may lose local storage on your computer if you use a cloud-based backup solution. With Google Drive as an FTP server or network drive, you can access your files from anywhere, including cell phone phones.

Powerful Cloud Storage Service

Google Drive is a powerful cloud storage service that can save various files such as APK, XLS and CSV, in addition to standard file formats. This makes it an ideal solution for those who need to store and share large files.

In this guide, we have shown you how to configure RaiDrive to connect with Google Drive and use it as an FTP server or network drive. With these steps, you can enjoy a synchronous and controllable backup solution that allows you to access your files from anywhere.
