Google Drive Desktop does not launch

In my case, the problem was that the link from C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Google\DriveFS was poiting to an unexisting folder. I've created that folder and Drive opened with the preferences window.


Try enabling google-drive (google cloud) on Windows start up programs.

  1. Ctrl+Alt+Delete to go to the task manager.
  2. Go to the “startup” tab
  3. Find “googledrivesync.exe” and enable it.

Of course, if it is enabled there, this solution won't work.
