Файловый поток Google Drive выводит обычный Google Drive из Windows Quick Access

Я запускаю Google Drive File Stream (GDFS) и Google Backup and Sync (GBS) одновременно в Windows 10. Мне бы хотелось, чтобы оба они были в списке быстрого доступа в левой части окна Windows Explorer. Но всегда кажется, что в списке есть GDFS, а не GBS.

Копировать:

  1. Установите и запустите GDFS и GBS (Google Backup and Sync).
  2. Щелкните правой кнопкой мыши папку Google Drive (GBS) в любом месте проводника Windows и выберите "Быстрый доступ".
  3. Обратите внимание, что Google Drive действительно появляется в списке быстрого доступа.
  4. (При желании можно отключить GDFS из Quick Access. Это не имеет значения.)
  5. Перезагрузите Windows.
  6. Обратите внимание, что GDFS (обратно) находится в быстром доступе, а Google Drive - нет.

Кто-нибудь получил это на работу? Есть ли хак, с помощью которого я могу форсировать изменения?

Solution 1 : Freeze the Quick Access bar

Apparently you are trying for the peaceful coexistence of two competing Google products, or trying to keep a product that Google considers as deprecated. In all cases, as the Google products have no parameter for achieving this, then some hacking is required.

I understand that you can arrive at the situation where both icons are in the Quick Access bar, only that this does not last beyond the next reboot. My idea then is to freeze this state of the Quick Access bar and stop Google, or any other program, from modifying it, hopefully without causing spurious warnings during boot.

Анализ

According to the Microsoft article Users can't access the desktop and other resources through Quick Access in Windows 10 , the Quick Access bar lives inside: 

%appdata%\microsoft\windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations\f01b4d95cf55d32a.automaticDestinations-ms

Contrary to expectations, this is a simple file and not a folder.

The StackOverflow post Decrypt/Read/Modify “.automaticDestinations-ms” and/or “.customDestinations-ms” further explains that this is a Structured Storage file. This ancient format is actually a file-system-within-a-file. It is unknown why Microsoft went to all this just for the sake of a few icons. The same post lists the open-source OpenMCDF project as capable of reading and the basic editing of such files, but we won't be doing that here.

Процедура

I suggest the following (untested) procedure:

  • Set up the Quick Access bar to your liking
  • Скопируйте файл f01b4d95cf55d32a.automaticDestinations-ms as backup (on NTFS so as not to lose permissions)
  • Right-click the file and choose Properties
  • Try first in the General tab to set the file as Read-only and OK. If this is not enough:
  • In the Security tab, click Edit and set Deny for Write. Do so for all the listed accounts, then click OK. You should not have any problem doing it, since you are the owner of the file.

You will need to undo it at any time that you would like to modify the Quick Access bar.

Solution 2: Rename Google Drive in the Quick Access bar

It seems like the Google Drive File Stream software searches for Google Drive by name, so renaming it effectively disables this search.
