Google Workspace Drives #22

Open OmarJay1 opened 3 years ago

OmarJay1 commented 3 years ago

Has anybody got psubst to work for mapping Google Workspace desktop drives? I'm assuming that since G: itself starts as a delayed process after logging in, that the psubst process is trying to map on a drive that doesn't yet exist.

Windows doesn't have great logs, or else I don't know where to look to see exactly what's happening.

Thanks.

@OmarJay1, thank you for your interest to this tool. The primary idea of the tool was to enable a local path as a separate drive rarely required for some applications or to shorten the very long paths whose length exceeds the system limitation.

In fact, psubst works in the same way as builtin subst with some extra work to make substituted drives persistent between system rebooting.
