Hey @vincav81 I think you may not have access until next week, which is why you will get the error, But here’s what to check for:

Be sure to select Shared with me then click on the Spice Vendor folder once so it is highlighted and then SHIFT + Z. Click on My Drive and you should see the Spice Vendor folder here also, you don’t need to access it here, you should now be able to sync (save to it via the Google drive folder on your desktop)

If you still have trouble see here 👇

Try checking your Firewall settings in any antivirus software you have, the default or recommended setting is best.

Also check your file sharing setting in Windows.

Go to the start menu, scroll down to Windows System, in the drop down menu select Control Panel. or search ‘Control Panel’ if you have the search facility activated.

In the Control Panel select Network and Internet, then Network and Sharing Centre, then in the list on the left select Change Advanced Sharing Settings.

In the private(current profile) section under file and printer sharing, I think this will need to be on.

Also in the All Networks section, under File Sharing Connections, select 128 bit encryption.

Also check the Google Drive sharing settings (You said you have 6.1GB used you should have nothing used if you are a new user on Google Drive, so definitely check these settings).

Do you see a cloud icon on the task bar next to the clock?

If not, in the start menu scroll to Backup and Sync from Google and in the drop down menu select Backup and Sync from Google

If you do, click on it and then click on the 3 dots on the right  and then click preferences.

In the preferences window 

Under My Computer deselect everything

Under Google Drive select Sync My Drive to This Computer and then select Sync these folders only  (Absolutely Definitely if you have other non spice vendor files in your Google Drive) and you will see a folder named Spice-Vendor when you have access and done the SHIFT + Z thing next week, select this folder.

Under Settings, select Network Settings, then check the proxy setting is Auto Detect and the Download and Upload Rate are both set to Don’t Limit. (Limit setting not necessary but best for speed based on your ISP Mbps)

Hope this helps.

@theluthier  Maybe worth everyone checking their settings, especially which files to sync so we don’t share private files and blow our 15GB limit on day one next week.
