Can I use Google Drive with two accounts?
I know I can switch between two different accounts with Google Drive on the web, but, can I use two Google Drive accounts at the same time in Windows 7?
According to Google's official page It's not possible to use Google Drive for your Mac/PC with more than one account at the same time: Switch between multiple Google Drive accounts - Google Drive Help
It's not possible to use Google Drive for your Mac/PC with more than one account at the same time.
If you want to use Google Drive for your Mac/PC with a different account, disconnect the account you're signed into and sign into another account. We don't recommend doing this frequently, as you'll need to create a new Google Drive folder every time you switch accounts.
Another user posted a poor solution (in my opinion):
Setup multiple user-accounts on your computer, setup Google Drive client software under each user-account, syncing with a different Google account from each one. Share the folders with your main account. As long as you keep the other user-accounts logged in, Google Drive will keep syncing for all the accounts you've set up.
Try Insync which is a dropbox-like service for Google users that support multiple Google Drive accounts. I think this one will solve your problem. Hope it helps!
My answer from this question: Is it possible to have two Google Drive accounts running simultaneously on PC?
Yes. Recently Google added the feature "add account" to the Google Drive desktop application "Backup and Sync by Google", which makes it very easy to do.
Right-click the "Backup and Sync by Google" icon in "hidden icons" section of the taskbar. It doesn't matter which one you pick if there's more than one icon.
Click the 3 dots, and then click "Add New Account".
- Follow the instructions to log in and sync whatever folders you want.
- They should stay synced/mirrored. I'm not sure if you restart the computer, you'll have to do this process again -- I haven't tested. There doesn't seem to be an option to see a list of your accounts currently added.
