The Google Drive experience is intended to make Google Drive feel like hardware, but it is really just software emulating hardware. If you see the G:\?, it just means that the software isn't functioning appropriately. Please do the following:


  1. Ensure that Google Drive is running. Sometimes it just crashed
  2. Go to the bottom left corner of Windows and click on the textbox or Windows icon
  3. Type "Google Drive"
  4. Click on the colorful Google Drive icon
  5. If a folder opens up, your issue is resolved
  6. If that didn't work, try logging back into Google Drive
  7. Go the the bottom right corner of Windows
  8. Click on the ^ symbol in the taskbard
  9. Identify the grayed-out Google Drive symbol. It's likely to be the only black and white icon 
  10. Click or double click and then log back in to your account within Google Drive
