I just downloaded Drive for Desktop that replaces the old backup and sync application. Now I have an ugly Google Drive (D:) that shows up under Devices and drives, in My Computer (This PC). It doesn't show under Disk Management. How am I supposed to remove or hide this? Searching in google shows no relevant results because the search terms are ambiguous.

  • Click the google drive icon on the right taskbar, click the setting icon (gear), then preferences
  • Google Drive preferences window will show, click the setting icon again on the top right one
  • Change google drive streaming location from "Drive Letter" to "Folder"
  • Save, and restart windows explorer

  • I'm really glad that this option has finally been added. I'm surprised that this post (as of this moment) has less than a thousand views, because for years, so many people were complaining about having an extra drive letter added to their computer. – theMaxx Jan 16 '23 at 16:39
