Add Google Drive to Windows Explorer Sidebar
We are going to make some changes in the Windows registry to get Google Drive in the sidebar of Windows file explorer. Windows registry stores low-level settings for the operating system, so make sure to get a backup of the registry before applying this method. First, you need to install Google Drive on your system and then apply the registry changes. This will add Google Drive to the Windows file explorer sidebar. Important: Ensure you backup your registry before making any changes.

Add Google Drive to Quick Access
In this method, you just need to pin the Google Drive shortcut from the desktop to the Quick Access in the Windows file explorer. If you don’t want the fancy way (similar to OneDrive) of showing Google Drive in the sidebar then simply pin it to the Quick Access. Make sure you install Google Drive in your system before trying this method.
Add Google Drive as a Library
The other option for adding Google Drive to the Windows file explorer is to create a new library. This is similar to making a folder or using the pin feature.
