"C:\Program Files\Google\Drive File Stream\launch.bat" opens 1 instance of GoogleDriveFS.exe for each file. - works fine when I am logged in but not when I am not. How to make it run even when I am not logged in?!

Question

The latest GoogleDrive Setup provides "C:\Program Files\Google\Drive File Stream\launch.bat" and when executed from DOS, it spawns six instances of GoogleDriveFS.exe for each file I am trying to sync. This works fine when I am logged in but stops as soon as I log off. I had previous "Backup and Sync" program which was working fine from scheduler but the new program using ""C:\Program Files\Google\Drive File Stream\launch.bat" in scheduler keeps opening a new GoogleDriveFS.exe for each of the 6 files and opens large number of instances of GoogleDriveFS.exe...You can't use 'Open only one instance" of GoogleDriveFS.exe and setting up to open only one instance of "C:\Program Files\Google\Drive File Stream\launch.bat" does not stop from opening multiple instances of GoogleDriveFS.exe for each of the 6 files..How to solve this problem?!

Could not find "Tag" for Google Drive or sync..

Answer 1

Thanks for providing google drive community link. I will post it there as well. Although, I understand Google Drive is not a Microsoft product but it is used by Microsoft OS (in my case it is Windows Server 2008 R2). The question to keep running processes even when user is not logged in also has to do with Microsoft-hence the question was posted.

Google Drive is not a Microsoft product. I recommend posting your question on the Google forums.
