I just installed the Google Drive app on my mac to interface my Google drive with the Mac's finder. I see the drive in my Finder and when I navigate to it, I can see all my files.
However, I cannot see any folders -- just files. So for all my content that is stored in a folder, I can't see it. I verified that they all exist by looking t Google Drive using my Browser.
Anyone else find this problem of missing folders?
I wasn’t sure where the proper spot to answer this question was, so I gave this a shot. I’ll move it to SuperUser as you suggested.

I would also like to pull from Dropbox, Box, and iCloud Drive. If there is no way, I will try to work around it but I was just wondering. I would like to be able to see the whole drive (all files and folders accessible). Thanks.
Depending on what you exactly are looking to do, you can use Google Drive's API to create/open files on your Drive for a serious project. If you are just experimenting with an idea, you can host your site directly from Google Drive.
To display all the files including folders, use Files.list. If you want to specify which type of file you want to show, check Search Files.

I have a website that uses the Google Drive SDK to create and save files. I have the permissions set to only have access to files created by my website.
Today all of the users Google Drive files are now visible from within my website even those not created by my app. I had a few other users report this to me.
Anyone else seeing this behavior on their website? Is this a bug or did Google change the behavior of these permissions?
We've isolated a Google Drive server issue and have implemented a temporary fix. You should no longer be able to see the issue.
Thanks for the report!
I have hosted a HTML file created on my PC (along with a stylesheet) on Google Drive using the script described here.
I have given out the link and it seems to be working fine (no reported issues from those I've sent it to).
I have just discovered a minor omission from the file, I need to add another sentence. This should be ridiculously easy on a PC, I could just open it on notepad!
I can't find a way to edit it on Google Drive, the only connected apps are the viewer and Docs.
The viewer, as the name suggests, will only let me view the HTML, and the docs app won't let me save it back to the original file.
Obviously I could download it then upload again, but from experience it will probably give me a different URL.
Is there any way for me to do this while keeping the link the same, as I have already given the address out?
Currently you can't. You can only preview html files, that is preview the code or preview the rendered content, but you cannot natively edit the code. You have two options:
use a third party extension, such as Neutron Drive or Drive Notepad.
install the Google Drive Desktop App, edit your files locally and save. Changes will be uploaded automatically.
I have just used HTML Editey chrome app
You can do this through file revisions. Hopefully, Google adds another way, but using the revision feature works for me. To revise your file, click the check mark in the Google Drive file list, click more, and then click "Manage revisions...". In the box that pops up, click upload new revision and then you're set.
You may also be able to edit html files stored in google drive through other plugins, but I do not use any at this time to know of them.
Update!
go to drive right click your html file
choose "open with" then "connect more apps"
when app library pop up search for "notepad" then choose "drivenotepad"
after it connect to drive, select it, you will get code editor.
Maybe this is a silly question, but I've been trying to look information about it on internet without luck.
I have an app that uses Google Drive SDK. I was wondering if there is an option to actually access my files stored for my app like I can access my personal files in Google Drive
I have a small mess with some folders and it will be easier if I can actually manage them with a visual interface.
Thanks!
I'm guessing that your app uses a Service Account? If so, then there is no UI. See this question I can't see the files and folders created via code in my Google Drive
Aha. You cant with a service account. However you could share the files and folders with a "real" account and see them. Easier to do if you already have everything inside a root folder so you only share that folder.
I've observed a strange behavior of Google Drive when I uploaded several files in a row to Google Drive by calling Google Drive APIs.
Everything seems working properly, I can get correct response back from API, such as file ID and URL. But when I looked into the folder where I uploaded files by web browser, files are sometimes missing.
This issue can be resolved by accessing the following URL which should not be necessary.
https://docs.google.com/file/d/<file ID>/edit
Could it be a Google Drive bug?
I've had the same problem. Usually the file would appear after some time. But sometimes not at all!
I've also noticed discrepancies between files shown in the web UI and files shown in the Google Drive directory on my PC. I would chalk this up to Drive's bugs.
Google drive still does this.
Files can take a long time to appear on the web gui. Similarly deleted files can remain on the web gui for a long time (and you get an error if you click on them).
I would really love a way to make drive more responsive.
İf you are uploading your files inside a folder then this might cause a problem. Make sure that parent folder exists for the file that you upload.
