General Chatting / Really, Google Drive?
« Last post by MineDweller on Today at 07:43:57 AM »So, I just downloaded Google Drive so that I can get to my Docs files when I'm not connected to the internet, which is Drive's advertised purpose. I download it, and sync it with my Google account. It takes all of thirty seconds to sync, but I just figured that was due to my connection speed (see signature).
Nope.
Turns out that the files are NOT stored on your computer. They're just shortcuts, each of which is only 150-200 bytes in size. If you open the file with Google Drive, it opens your web browser and the document. If you open it in your web browser, up pops a URL referer and a resource id. That's it.
Is this what's supposed to happen, or what?
