Paperport and shared Google drive folders
Paperport is a very handy solution for scanning and organising you documents, and get rid of the bunches of paper. You scan the documents and can toss the original paper, and basically the only ones you need to save are the agreementes, where the original ink is relevant.
Paperport provides a cloud based storage, but that is not really up to par with the leading providers. You can easily scan to the folders of the dropbox, google drive or skydrive. There is however an issue; scanning to a shared folder in a Google Drive is a propblem as the filder isn’t visible in the folderlist.
On user had realised that this is due to the system flag of the folder. Presumably only for users who’s explorer settings is to not show system files.
His issue is described here:

Testing his command I got errors, so I updated it slightly to work for me:
attrib -S “D:\Users\Doug\Documents\Google Drive\Genealogy” /S
The path will need to be updated of course to what’s applicable to you…
Thanks to Doug McKay
Thank you for this very useful post.
I am having the same problem but my Users is on the C:/ drive. I keep on getting errors in the cmd .
Can you tell what I am doing wrong? My sub folder in Google Drive is called Templates
attrib –S “C:\Users\SebLyle\Google Drive\Templates” /S
Many thanks,
Seb
Seb,
Opening command prompt, I would assume you need to open it it Administrator mode. Accessories -> Command and right click on the option and select “Run as Administator”. That way you have the shell witrh Admin rights. If that won’t work then I don’t know. The command itself looks correct to I would assume it’s not that …
