Is it possible to change the name of the folder "My Drive"?
When I try to rename the folder, I get the following error message.
The error code did not help me.
Unfortunately that isn't possible for Google Drive for Desktop since the naming convention for these virtual drives are currently mapped to the directory architecture of the software itself.
I would suggest submitting a feature request for this.

Now I want to download the dataset on the website(http://pubchemqc.riken.jp/), it's in google drive and filesize is 2TB. the website recommend using rclone to download the file but not said how to use.
As the picture shows
This was asked a while back already but I'd like to keep it recorded here as it seems hard to find.
Unfortunately I don't know if there's a way to automate this process but it's still easy.
What you can do is create a new remote with the link's root_folder_id.
The Root Folder ID is present in the url e.g:
in the example link
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/a1b2c3deFgHi4JKlm56nOpqrStuv7w8xy9
the root_folder_id is the string after the slash /folders/ so in this case it would be "a1b2c3deFgHi4JKlm56nOpqrStuv7w8xy9". If the Google Drive shared link you got is a folder all you have to do is copy that id and use it in the rclone's new remote setup. Now if the shared link points directly to a file, like the one in the OP, there's no folder to download it from, so we gotta create our own! The whole process would look like:
get the folder_id from Google Drive's link. If it is a link to a direct file then first we have to create a new folder anywhere inside our own Google Drive, it's name doesn't matter as we will point directly to it using the ID. After creating this new folder, open it and note the url, it should look something like
https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/Fdrcv3nQvxQqXUGEEyvacwUxdYXpV33Ct
just copy everything after /folders/ and save it for later.
now go back to the link of the direct file. Add a shortcut for that file to inside your recently created folder, so say the folder was named dl-with-rclone, click the "Add shortcut to Drive" icon and navigate to the "dl-with-rclone" folder to add the shortcut there.
heading to rclone, do:
rclone config <to open settings>
On the prompt e/n/d/r/c/s/q> hit n (the key relative to creating a new remote)
On name> give it a name like sharedWithMe or anything else for personal reference later
On the prompt Storage>, the possible remotes to connect to, write down drive or the number relative to it (currently 15)
if you set up your own client_id and client_secret you put them next
On the scope> prompt option 2 "Read-only" is enough
now this is the important one:
on the root_folder_id> prompt input the ID of the folder of the shared link or the folder you created and pointed the file shortcut to, e.g. Fdrcv3nQvxQqXUGEEyvacwUxdYXpV33Ct
Now you can pretty much hit enter for everything, once you reach Use auto config? you will be redirected for a browser to login. Make sure the logged in account is the same that you created the folder for the shortcut. If the shared link is for a folder already your logged in account doesn't matter.
After finishing your remote setup you can exit rclone config
The command you would need would be something like rclone copy sharedWithMe: destination/folder
This being rclone you would surely be able to copy from one remote to another, that's up to the user.
In summary: I did test this method on your link, creating a folder in my Drive, pointing the file shortcut to it and using the root_folder_id to setup the rclone remote and it did begin to download:

this is a general question about Power Automate and OneDrive that I've seen no solution to.
I'm trying to create a flow "Copy files from a folder in OneDrive (Business) to an FTP server". The trigger is "When a filed is created" in a OneDrive directory. When I attempt to navigate to the folder I just see ROOT, then "No Items".
I also can't figure out how to obtain the unique identifier of the folder.
I was able to get the ID of my folders with this short Instant flow.
It'll output a JSON response with the ID, Name, Path, etc for all your folders in the Root of OneDrive. There is also a "List files in folder" block that you can use to get subfolders of folders.
I was able to copy the ID string from the JSON response and paste it into the "When a file is create" OneDrive trigger and have it go off successfully.
The issue was I was attempting to do this using OneDrive(Business) when I should have used Sharepoint based on my organization's license
I am working on a C++ windowsform project, using visual Studio IDE.
I use CFileDialog class to ask the user to select a file to open.
It display an usual open file selection windows.
I would like the default folder displayed to be the same as the one accessed when clicked on "My computer", where the harddrives, USB drives, dvd drives etc. are displayed.
I can define default folder by writting its path tolpstrInitialDir member, but I don't find the path for such a folder. I tried "\", "explorer.exe", "", none of them gave me the expected result.
The application will be used by several users, so the solution must not include the user name in the path. i.e "C:\Documents and Settings[user]\Desktop\My Computer" may work but is not correct for my application.
Does anyone know of to define the "root" path of windows (i.e the root of C:\) ?
I searched on SO and internet but maybe I have used wrong keywords because I couldn't find appropriate content.
My Computer is a virtual shell folder that doesn't correspond to any file system directory. There's no file system path that would correspond to that location.
Fortunately, file dialogs do speak "shellese", so you can use the CLSID (not to be confused with the GUID KNOWNFOLDERID or the CSIDL) of the shell folder. Sample in C# Winforms, but really, the only important part is the ::CLSID):
var ofd = new OpenFileDialog();
ofd.InitialDirectory = "::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}";
ofd.ShowDialog();
Disclaimer: I couldn't find any relevant documentation for the virtual folder CLSID, or this behaviour of the File dialog. So this is most likely not contractual, and could possibly change in future versions of Windows.
In the explorer, in the search bar copy the address of
This PC
and then select the text
This PC
and paste. Normally we get the
Ce PC ":: {CLSID}"
and then just copy
:: {CLSID}
and paste it wherever we want.
Path should be: C:\Users\UserName\Desktop\Computer.lnk
A java application is using the %PUBLIC% environment variable to get the path to "c:\users\public". It then appends that with "public documents" and tries to read a file from the folder and fails (it previously read and wrote the file successfully). The application shows no data and when it tries to write to the "c:\users\public\public documents" folder a duplicate "c:\users\public\public documents" folder is created with the new version of the content. You can still get to the original content using windows explorer and see it all there, but now there are two "public documents" folders.
Previously it was reading and writing to the public documents folder without any problem. This is happening with every account on the system, but it is still working just fine on every other PC the software is installed on.
What Windows Explorer doesn't make evident is that the real folder is not actually called "Public Documents", but is actually called "Documents". The "Public Documents" is simply a display name, but as far as NTFS is concerned you can have both a "Documents" and "Public Documents" folder with no ill effects.
Use %PUBLIC%\Documents to refer to the actual folder you're looking for.
I use an external hard drive for my user data, and 2 weeks ago I had a crash and changed to a new disc with another name. I do this on User & Groups advance options on the preferences panel.
My problem comes when I get the path from NSFileManager URLForUbiquityContainerIdentifier it referes to the old external volume "jose" that I no longer have. How can I update it?
file://localhost/Volumes/Jose/Library/Mobile%20Documents/4C224W52W5~com~piso13~Recipes
i resolve the same probleme...
There is not posibility to reconfigure, now you must remove the current configuration.
Switch off iCloud "mobile documents" system preference... and remove the folder "˜/Library/Application Support/Ubiquity".
I don't know if it is necesary reboot, i do it.
Now... switch on "mobile documents" icloud system preference.
(sorry for my english)
I this not something you can talk to the apple genius people about? A friend of mine had a similar issue and they were able to resolve it.
