So is this project absolutely dead with no hope of resurrection?
I ask because I set up my GMail Drive with multiple accounts using GMail Drive Config last week and it was absolutely stellar. Flawless! Five accounts all showing and working perfectly at one time.
Unfortunately, I had a major corruption (unrelated) and had to reinstall Windows 7 from fresh. Now I can't get Gmail Drive Config to setup more than one account. Any attempt at a third account in Gmail Drive Config merely replaces the second account, which never really gets setup in the shell to begin with. Really bummed as this was just about the best tweak/mod I've ever had on my machine.
O0 -- UPDATE -- UPDATE -- UPDATE -- UPDATE -- UPDATE -- O0 :
After continuing to play with this stuff, I finally figured out how to get multiple accounts working. I'll post it up here just in case some other user has the same issue and finds his/herself here seeking answers. I believe the key errors I was making were:
Not running in administrator mode
Not specifying a unique label each time
Not closing and re-opening everything after each new account addition
Also, now that I have it working, I am definitely going to be promoting this because it is excellent! I hope that is ok.
Step by step as tested on Windows 7 SP1:
- Install Gmail Drive Shell Extension (http://"http://www.viksoe.dk/code/gmail.htm")
- Double click on the new mounted drive "GMail Drive"
- Enter the credentials for one of your GMail accounts
- Sign in and let it authorize
- Download Gmail Drive Config (http://"http://www.softpedia.com/get/Internet/E-mail/Mail-Utilities/Gmail-Drive-Config.shtml") from Convivea
- Right-click the gmail_drive_config file and 'Run as administrator'
- Click Add Drive
- Enter a unique Label and another GMail user account name
- You should receive a pop-up confirmation that reads: <DllRegisterServer in C:\Windows\system32\ShellExt\GMFS004.dll succeeded.> or something similar.
- Close all explorer windows
- Re-open an explorer window
- The new drive will appear under Computer after the last drive
- Double-click this new drive to enter the password and login
- Close all explorer windows...
- Repeat steps 6-12 to add up 999 Gmail accounts
Relax and Enjoy all that extra storage goodness! ;D
