What is Google Drive?
Google Drive is a file storage and synchronize service by Google that was live on 24 th April 2012. Google Drive is currently the house of Google Docs, a set of productivity apps, that provide cooperative redaction on documents, spreadsheets, displays, and more.

- Once you have installed the above software successfully on the computer download Google Drive offline installer. You may even download the online installer
- Once installed on the computer it would ask you to sign in. Use your G mail id and password to login
- Next create a folder on your PC and it would sync all the files automatically from Google Docs

Thanks Anish, you’ve helped me fix this problem on my Atom (x86) powered Samsung NC10.
Thanks Mr Anonymous. Even i had the same issue and when i found the solution,I wanted to help others too.
I tried to install on Windows XP SP3 and that seemed to work ok. When I ran it, it showed an impressive gear wheel going round and round and round. I dismissed it after about 20 minutes. No error message. I tried reinstalling … but another 30 minutes wasted.
Disappointing.
Using the off-line installer and adding the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86) worked for me on a XP box. I’m wondering why Google didn’t have this on there own support pages (or at least I didn’t see it). Good job Anish or to whom ever found this!
Glad it worked for you 🙂 , If you have any trouble in future, don’t hesitate to ask your question in my forum. http://www.bleepingtech.com/forum
