I:drive or J:drive in my case) which which you can then access when setting up a destination for an NCH Fling routine. But, using the little taskbar icon to "Add another account" it actually creates another drive letter (e.g. When you first install Google Drive for Desktop it create a G:drive which is the first account you specified when setting up that software. That is, you'll then have the added drive when clicking on the "This PC" (or in file explorer) where you see all your normal drives (e.g.

However, using the taskbar icon to "Add Another Account" actually creates an additional drive on your PC. The Browser has another "Add another account" feature which allows you to define UN/PW for several Google accounts to aid in online browser access to the added Google account list. The trick is, the "Add another account" MUST be done by Right Clicking on the the little taskbar Google Icon (NOT while using your browser). The trick was wading thru Google's obtuse instructions for adding a Google account to the Google Drive For Desktop software. But these drive-to-drive setups don't provide the "Fling' option.Īs noted above, "My next challenge was to get the Fling FTP to work with multiple Google accounts." They work perfectly, always showing a right click "Fling" choice when selection files form the source folder. But they are all actual web server destinations. What could be causing the lack of a "Fling" choice to upload? All my other web destination setups properly show a "Fling" choice when selecting a file from the defined source folder. When clicking on the source folder, right clicking a file to "Fling' upload (to another defined internal drive folder) there is no right click choice to "FLING" the file. So, tried to up a simple drive-to-drive with both the Destination and the source folders being real internal drives/folders (NOT the somewhat artificial G Drive destination). So far, so good.ĭidn't work because there was no 'Fling" choice showing when selecting a file from the source location. Then set up a regular local source folder. Tried it using a Drive-to-Drive setup process (Thinking Fling would consider G:drive just another internal drive.) I was able to able to define the destination as a folder as a folder on the G-Drive.
