TOP MOMENT OF THE NIGHT
The Voice Finds Its Olympian
NBC
BECAUSE: Frontrunner is rapidly becoming too weak a word to describe Alisan Porter on The Voice's 10th season. The bite-size mom once again coupled up her patented mix of melodic delicacy and vocal power on Patty Griffin’s "Let Him Fly," and we assure you, Blake's was not the only mind that was blown.

Bates Motel
A&E
WHAT HAPPENED: After taking his morning dose of meds back at his own kitchen table since he's finally free of Pineview, Norman teases that he's "all fixed now." Oh pal -- you wish it, we wish it; you know it's not true, and we know it's not true. Being back home means dealing with the changing aspects of his relationship with Norma. And Norman doesn't exactly do change, even if Norma is trying to keep her relationship with Alex a secret from him. Norman confronts Alex in town -- it doesn’t go well; Dylan and Emma come by for some Christmas tree shopping -- it doesn’t go well; Norma finally confesses that Alex is "a good man" and she likes him -- Norman vomits at the news. Because the heater is broken in the house, Norma and Norman have been pushed into neighboring rooms in the hotel, where Norman hears Alex's car pull up at night. And here we reach another critical Psycho intersection: Norman removes a painting from the wall, punctures a small hole, and spies on his mother having sex with Alex. Those don't make for great memories when Alex is invited over for dinner the next day. Things get heated, and suddenly the sheriff is standing in front of an axe-wielding (for firewood, of course) Norman Bates.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: For now, though, everyone is still breathing -- Norman fled instead of axed. But there are only two episodes left in season 4, and the tension in the Bates household has reached critical mass. Much of that is thanks in part to Monday's superb episode that has a pretty good reason for offering such insight into Norman's delicate psyche: it was written by his portrayer Freddie Highmore, in his first ever screenwriting credit. In a blog that showrunner Kerry Ehrin writes for EW about some of the series' most pivotal episodes, she asked Highmore what drew him to contributing to Norman in this new way: "I wanted to be involved in the wider process of doing the show. It seemed odd to me to put so much energy into shooting the season over a period of five months in Vancouver and then just pack it all up and leave the show behind in the hiatus... Maybe I just missed Norman, but I felt like I had ideas that I wanted to contribute in terms of how he developed." And if that turns into an episode like Monday's, then we're inclined to agree that Highmore has plenty to contribute.

Dancing With the Stars
ABC
WHAT HAPPENED: Not only was this the first week the season 22 contestants would face double-dances -- one solo performance and one men vs. women group performance -- but at the end of it all, they faced a double-elimination. And apparently a little pressure was all it took! Every single one of the contestants stepped up their game in a big way (including -- sad face -- eventual eliminated stars, Kim Fields and Von Miller), nabbing the two first perfect scores of the season, all in one night. The first goes to Ginger Zee who was disappointed the judges weren't feeling her "Nasty" vibes last week, but pulled out the big guns -- a.k.a. the full-length mirrors -- in a mesmerizing and purposeful Viennese waltz to Whitney Houston's "I Have Nothing." And to help you get over all those resulting emotions, here's Paige VanZant in a fuller-than-full-throttle jive to "Proud Mary" that makes it nearly impossible to believe she was a novice dancer a few short weeks ago. Paige may be self-conscious about coming into DWTS with a smaller fanbase than most, but believe us, baby -- it is growing fast!
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: Ginger and Paige may have scored the only perfect scores of the night but there were a few other 10s given out... and then taken back. AGAIN! Nyle DiMarco was once again robbed of a 10 he thought he'd received when judge Bruno once again held up his 10 paddle, announced he was giving Nyle a 10, and then Tom Bergeron had to come back and tell us that producers were saying Bruno had actually written a 9 on his official judging card (Tom also joked around, asking if Bruno does his own taxes -- thank goodness for Tom). The last time this happened, Nyle told EW, "Honestly I think what probably happened is that’s what they really wanted to give... Subconsciously they wanted to give me those 10s." Considering the fact that it happened to him again, that hypothesis is starting to hold a little more water.

Gotham
Fox
WHAT HAPPENED: "Strong as an ox, fast as a snake, mad as a hatter," is how Hugo Strange describes his own little Frankenstein-style monster, Theo Glavan 2.0., on Monday's Gotham. The only thing about this Theo is he's just a little lost, what with all the scribbling in the blood of those he's murdered and the yelling into nothingness. So Hugo decides the fella just needs a little identity -- next thing you know, Theo thinks he's the great 12th-century warrior Asrael who served St. Dumas (Hugo, duh), and Dumas/Hugo has a mission for him: kill Gordon. H'oh geez. Not only does that put Gordon in danger, but it gives Hugo the idea to do a little more experimentin' with this whole "imprinting new ideas on mentally ill folks" thing. Theo proceeds to attack the precinct on his mission to kill Gordon in what EW writer Keertana Sastra calls, "one of the most fascinating fight sequences on Gotham since that epic and bloody Maniax attack so many episodes ago," and in the process reveals himself as the mayor everyone thought was dead (because, y'know, hewas!).
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: The episode ends with Ed discovering the secret elevator down to Hugo's creepy lair, and if that means there's potential for an evil collaboration between Dr. Strange and the Riddler, well that might just make for some must-see-TV. This was a good episode of Gotham, one that caused the A.V. Club to exclaim, " Gotham briefly remembers that it’s okay to be fun." "Briefly" would be the key word there, as the A.V. Club also tempers that statement by reminding that, "One of the longest-running issues with Gotham has been its futile search for an identity," especially among an ever-growing group of stand-out comic book series. So, if Gotham wanted to join up with the "fun" group... we're just saying, we'd be game.

Breaking News - Hamilton

'Hamilton' writes its own history and breaks record with 16 Tony nominations

Steven Zeitchik

“Hamilton,” Lin-Manuel Miranda’s hip-hop musical about America's founding fathers wrote its own bit of Tony Award history Tuesday morning by picking up 16 nominations, breaking the record held by “Billy Elliot” and “The Producers.”

“Hamilton,” already something of a shoo-in to win best musical, will now aim for "The Producers’” record of 12 Tony wins when the ceremony takes place June 12 in New York.

Other big names called out Tuesday morning for Broadway’s biggest awards show included “Waitress,” “Shuffle Along,” “School of Rock” and "Bright Star," which join “Hamilton” in the new musical category.

“The Color Purple,” “Spring Awakening,” “She Loves Me” and  “Fiddler on the Roof” were nominated for musical revival.

Most Tony nominations ever: How does 'Hamilton' stack up to history?

For best play, front-runners “Eclipsed” and “The Humans” will share slots with “King Charles III” and “The Father,” while a host of starry names —  Lupita Nyong’o (“Eclipsed”), Michelle Williams (“Blackbird”) and Jessica Lange (“Long Day’s Journey Into Night”) — fill out the actress in a play category.

Thoughts for the Day

When struggling with self-control, it goes against our very nature to kill the one thing that we enjoy the most and that is ourselves. I really believe that the real key is found in Galatians 2:20 which is one of my favorite verses, “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.” -Pastor Merritt



Life isn't always fair. Many times, even with our best efforts, we fail and fall short of our dreams and goals. But remember, failure is never final, and it's in the perseverance and endurance that we are strengthened, we grow and we mature. If life has dealt you a difficult blow, don't give up! The God who created you enabled you to draw on His strength in your times of weakness, and through that, you will succeed! - Ron Lambros, President, Touching Lives







Tuesdays Inspiration

Morning Inspiration with Pastor Merritt

One of the things that fascinates me about Jesus is how He looked at people. When we look at people we tend to see nameless faces, bland personalities, a bunch of hang ups or hiccups, but when Jesus looked at people He saw them as sheep. But more specifically sheep that wandered around in the dark not knowing really where to go.

When you drive back to your neighborhood today, when you are in the middle of traffic tomorrow going to your office, the next time you go to a packed out movie house or a sold out sporting event think about this verse,

“When he saw the crowds, He had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.” (Matthew 9:36)

Do you know why a flock of sheep with no shepherd is so sad? Because sheep have no sense of direction. And without leadership they will just wander aimlessly. They’ll stray away from the flock, they’ll lose their way, they’ll walk right over a cliff without a second thought.

How many times have I heard people who have messed their lives up, destroyed their marriages, lost their jobs, gone to prison, blew up every meaningful relationship they had, make these statements, “Somehow I just got off the wrong road.” “Somehow I just drifted away.” “I don't know why but I just wandered away from my roots.”

The reason why so many messed up people lived messed up lives is because they don't know where they are and they don't know how to get to where they need to go. So they just start wandering. Spouses wander away from their marriage. Children wander away from their parents. People walk off cliffs of drugs, alcohol, and materials. Just like sheep, we need guidance, direction, and leadership.

Tuesdays Devotional

My Conversation with a Hedge

My Conversation with a Hedge
by Shawn McEvoy, Crosswalk.com Managing Editor
He who neglects discipline despises himself, But he who listens to reproof acquires understanding.
The fear of the LORD is the instruction for wisdom, And before honor comes humility.
Proverbs 15:32
Some years during summer, my wife and kids leave me for two-to-three weeks to visit all of her relatives in Texas while I stay home and work. For the first day or two that they're gone, I enjoy my freedom from some of my responsibilities. After that, though, I tend to go a little crazy. I find myself wandering around the house, or doing "improvement" projects I have no business tackling. Making up song lyrics. Or having conversations with inanimate objects.
A couple years ago, in the middle of their trip, I was trimming the bushes beneath our front windows. The three on the right side of the stoop grow more uniformly than the three on the left. On the left, the one closest to the stairs is healthiest, while the other two, thanks to heavier afternoon shade, don't do as well. Oh, it's hard to tell, because I keep them pruned so that they "grow together" in the middle and stay squared off on the tops and corners. But obviously, the two weaker bushes suffer the pruning less frequently, because I let them grow out to fill in the gaps.
As I was working, their healthier sibling, I imagined, began to speak to me. Or to whine is more like it...
Hey! What gives?
Nothing, my good man. Just time for your monthly trimming.
But why? I'm not doing anything wrong. Just sitting here minding my own business. Doing good, doing what I'm supposed to do. And here you come...
Well, just sit still, please. Trust me, I have a purpose here.
Really? Well forgive me for asking, but why doesn't that purpose seem to apply to my lazy, stunted brethren here? All this time and barely a scratch. Maybe a nip, a cut. Nothing lost, no pain. 
You're not happy with how you look? Where you're situated?
I'm fine. But that's just it. I don't deserve this cutting and trimming.
You think you planted yourself in this primo spot?
Never really thought about it. I just want to know why you're taking so much away from me and nothing from them.
I told you I have a purpose. You can't see what I can see. In fact, you can't see much at all. You're completely rooted in place. But I've seen all around you and through you, and have since you were planted.
But it hurts. I don't like losing things.
Never having them in the first place, and never really growing, that's not much good either. I have to give extra care and attention to those others. I can only hope it brings them up to the same level of maturity as you...
Hmmph.
I finished trimming up the hedges, and went my way, unsure I had gotten through. But when I stood back, I beheld something beautiful. I could only hope those under my care understood, had not despised their discipline, and opted to forsake impractical, joyless comparison.
Intersecting Faith & Life: The next time you feel like others aren't being as challenged as you are, or like the Lord is picking on you unfairly, consider that you can't see all the perspectives or purposes of the Lord, not in your life and especially not in the lives of others. The Lord loves you enough to discipline you, and he knows you're healthy and with enough green growth to handle His pruning.

Marriage is Meant for Connection

Marriage Is Meant for Connection
By Rick Warren
“In God’s plan men and women need each other” (1 Corinthians 11:11 TLB).
Marriage doesn’t solve your problems. Marriage does not create your problems. Marriage reveals problems. It simply magnifies what was already a problem when you were living as a single adult.
There are a lot of things marriage can’t do, but it does have a God-designed function. So why did God design marriage?
God created marriage for the connection of men and women.
The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 11:11, “In God’s plan men and women need each other”(TLB).
Whether or not you get married, if you’re a woman, you need men in your life. If you’re a man, you need women in your life. Why? Because nobody holds the full image of God. Women get part of it, men get part of it, and we need each other. God wired it this way. God thought up gender. God thought up sex. And God thought up marriage. What a God!
Did you ever wonder why God made man and then woman a little bit later? Why didn’t he make them both at the same time?
I think he did it for Adam’s benefit. I think he wanted Adam to realize how much he needed women in his life.
Genesis 2:18 says, “It isn’t good for man to be alone; I will make a companion for him.”
You need companions in all different areas of your life. But there is nothing like the companionship of a marriage. It is in a relational class all by itself.
Here’s what Jesus had to say about it: “‘God made them male and female’ from the beginning of creation. This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one. Since they are no longer two but one, let no one split apart what God has joined together” (Mark 10:6-9 NLT, second edition).
That passage makes three major points about marriage:
1. Marriage is God’s plan. It’s not a tradition we can just throw out.
2. Marriage is between a man and a woman. Their body parts fit together for a purpose — the creation of everybody else.
3. Marriage is to be permanent. It’s meant to be for life.
Do you realize how radical those three statements are? It seems like most people don’t believe those statements any more. But it’s still the truth! It’s still the way God designed marriage. And just because we live in the real, not necessarily the ideal, doesn’t mean we get to say the ideal doesn’t exist.
Talk It Over
  • Why is it important for a single person to understand the purpose of marriage?
  • How have Christians tried to distort the three points about marriage from Mark 10:6-9?
  • Why do you think marriage reveals problems about ourselves? What are we meant to do about those flaws within a marriage relationship?

My Thoughts

Hello everyone, just wanted to write down whats going on today. First day back at work after my brief vacation in Virginia where I got to see my son. Got a lot on my mind but I know things are going to work out. Anyway my brother and his kids will be visiting at the end of this month. Then immediately after they leave I have to go to training for a week. That should be fun. Then in Aug I have to go back to VA again and make sure I get custody of my son, hopefully. 

I had more to write about today but most of it has gone by the wayside due to work. I applied for a new position last week. I am really hoping to get it because its exactly what I was doing while in the military and it pays more, which will definitely help out. Basically I will be inspecting airports in the FAA's Western-Pacific region if I get it. Making sure their signs, markings, pavement, movement areas all correct and within standards. That is what I know, that is what I did for 24 years in the military and that is what I want to do now. Only God knows if I will get the job or not. I did my part so we will see what happens. 

This week will be interesting in the fact that I do have a bit to do. I need to get my car to the dealer to have it serviced, need to continue to build the website for my church. Right now I am looking at other sites to get an idea of the design I want. I already have an idea of how I want it laid out, colors, links, etc...just need to put it all together and make it functional for others to read and enjoy. Then I am continuing to work on our FB page as well as my blog. Needless to say I keep myself pretty busy. I am hoping to get more subscribers to my (this) blog. With your help and spreading the word that could be a possibility. Leave some comments and let me know what you all think. Have a good day and thank you for reading. 

Google Sync

How to Use the Google Drive Desktop App to Sync Your Files Anywhere

00_lead_image_downloading_drive_for_pc
Google Drive has become one of the premiere cloud storage options for millions of computer users over the past few years. But it isn’t just about Google Docs and Slides–you can also use it to sync your other files across computers, and access them offline, without a browser.
This means no more opening up sluggish web browsers, or waiting on a sub-par Internet connection to get to the files you need. Here’s our guide on how to use Google Drive’s desktop app.
NOTE: We’re using Windows 10 in our example, but this will work in Windows 8 and Windows 7 as well. We refer to File Explorer throughout this article, which is equivalent to Windows Explorer in Windows 7.

How to Download and Install the Google Drive App

If you’re currently logged into your Google Drive account in a browser, you can download the Google Drive app for your PC by clicking the Settings (gear) button in the upper-right corner of the browser window and selecting “Download Drive” from the drop-down menu. Otherwise, you can visit https://www.google.com/drive/download/.
01_selecting_download_drive_when_logged_in_browser
You will notice that the type of computer you’re using was detected and the label on the button reflects that. Click the blue “Download for PC” button to automatically download the correct version of Google Drive for your system.
02_download_google_drive_for_windows_dialog
The Opening dialog box displays. Select the “Save File” option and then click “Save File”.
03_saving_installation_file
In the Save dialog box, navigate to the folder in which you want to save the Google Drive installation file and click “Save”.
04_enter_name_of_file_to_save_to_dialog
To install Google Drive on your PC, open a File Explorer window, navigate to the folder in which you saved the googledrivesync.exe file, and double-click on it. The installation process is automatic. The next section takes you through setting up Google Drive to access your Google account and start syncing your files.

How to Connect Your Google Account to the Google Drive App and Sync Your Files

When the installation is finished, you’ll see a Welcome to Google Drive wizard, which will help you set up Google Drive. Click “Get Started”. The wizard will ask you for your Gmail address, your password, and a verification code, if you have two-step verification enabled on your Google account.
05_meet_google_drive
Once you’ve entered Google Drive account information, another wizard displays. This one shows you info about Google Drive. Use the “Next” button on each screen to advance through the wizard.
06_add_your_files
When you get to the last screen of the wizard, a notification displays in the lower-right corner of your Windows desktop.
06a_google_drive_notification
On the last screen of the wizard, click the “Sync options” button at the bottom.
07_clicking_sync_options
The Sync options tab displays. By default, files from your Google Drive account will sync to the “Google Drive” folder in your user folder. However, you can choose to sync to a different folder using the “Change” button.
Next, you can choose which folders in your Google Drive account you want to sync and download to your PC. To sync all the files in your Google Drive account, select “Sync everything in My Drive”. If you only want to sync certain folders, select “Sync only these folders”. A box displays showing a list of all the folders in your Google Drive account. By default, all the folders are selected. Click the check boxes next to the folders you don’t want to sync, making sure there is no check mark in the box for each folder you don’t want to sync. Then, click “Start sync”. The files you chose to sync from your Google Drive account start downloading to the folder you specified on your PC.
NOTE: Files in your Google Drive account that are stored in the root of your Drive account (not in a folder) will be automatically synced no matter what.
08_selecting_sync_options
An icon for Google Drive is added to the notification area on the Taskbar. If you move your mouse over the icon, you’ll see the status of the sync process. The status on the image below shows files being compared because we had files
08a_google_drive_syncing_status

How to Use Google Drive on Your Desktop

After installing Google Drive on your PC, you should have a Google Drive icon on your desktop. Double-click this to access your Google Drive files.
09_google_drive_icon_on_desktop
A File Explorer window opens directly to the folder you chose for syncing your Google Drive files. Small green check marks display on file and folder icons to indicate these files and folders are synced with your Google Drive account. To upload any file or folder to your Google Drive account, place it in this folder.
10_google_drive_in_explorer
Clicking on the Google Drive icon in the notification area brings up the following popup, which provides another way to access your Google Drive folder and displays a list of the most recently synced files. The three vertical dots button in the upper-right corner of the popup displays a menu that provides access to additional items, one of which is preferences for the Google Drive app. We’ll discuss the preferences in the next section.
11_google_drive_in_notification_area
All files in your local Google Drive folder except Google Docs, Google Sheets, and Google Slides files can be edited offline. Google Docs, Google Sheets, and Google Slides files look like they are local files, but they are actually links to the online versions of these files. Normally, when you double-click on a Google file, it will launch into your preferred web browser with the option to either login to your account, or if you’re already logged in, launch the file itself in Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides. If you have no internet connection, the Google Docs, Google Sheets, or Google Slides file won’t open.
hty15
Also be aware that because these files aren’t actually stored locally, if you choose to delete a file in your local Google Drive folder, you will see the following dialog box and the file will be deleted from Google’s servers as well when you empty your Google Drive trash.
11a_removed_google_doc_from_drive
As with any cloud storage platform, you’ll only be able to access its full array of features as long as your computer is hooked up to a steady Internet connection. When you don’t have an internet connection, clicking on any Google Docs, Google Sheets, or Google Slides files stored in your local Google Drive folder will only open a dead browser page.

How to Configure Preferences for Google Drive on your PC

The preferences for the Google Drive app allows you to configure features like what folders or files Google Drive automatically syncs on your account (like you did when you first connected your Google account to the Google Drive app), managing your account storage limit, and how Drive chooses to connect to Google’s central servers.
To change preferences for the Google Drive app, click the three vertical dots button and select “Preferences” from the popup menu.
12_selecting_preferences
If you synced everything and now you’ve changed your mind, you can select the “Sync only these folders” option on the Sync options tab and then deselect folders in the list that displays that you don’t want to sync.
If anyone has shared files or folders with you from their Google Drive account, you can click “Visit Shared with me”. We will discuss sharing files using Google Drive in the next section.
12a_unsyncing_folders
When you deselect folders to unsync them, a dialog box displays warning you that those folders will be removed from your computer. Don’t worry. You can always resync them later in the Preferences. Click “Continue” to remove the selected folders from your computer.
12b_some_folders_will_be_removed
The Account tab shows you how much space you are using out of the total space you’re allowed, which is currently (as of the time this article was published) 15 GB for free accounts. This tab also allows you to disconnect your account or upgrade your storage.
NOTE: If you disconnect your account, the Google Drive icon in the notification area will display faded, indicating you are disconnected. You can click the icon to connect to a Google account again. This is useful if you want to switch Google accounts, because we don’t know of a way to connect to two Google accounts at the same time on the same PC.
13_preferences_account_tab
The Advanced tab on the Preferences dialog box allows you to change the Proxy settings and Bandwidth settings (how Google Drive chooses to connect to Google’s central servers), but we recommend you leave those on the default settings. The System settings are all selected by default and we recommend leaving these on as well.
If you use Google Drive a lot, the “Start Google Drive on system startup” is a helpful option to have on. The only difference I noticed when I turned off the “Show file sync status icons and right click menu” check box, is that the small green arrows on the files and folders in my Google Drive folder went away. The last option, “Show confirmation when removing items from shared folders”, pretty much does what it says on the tin. Again, we’ll discuss sharing folders in the next section.
Click “Apply” once you’ve made your changes on the Preferences dialog box.
14_preferences_advanced_tab

How to Share Files and Folders Using Google Drive on your PC

You can use your Google Drive account to share files and folders with others and they could share files and folders with you. I’m going to share a folder with someone and give them edit permission, which allows that person to edit the files within that folder and add or remove files from that folder.
NOTE: To share more than one file at once, put the files in a folder in your Google Drive account and then share the entire folder.
15_selecting_share
The Share Settings dialog box displays. In the “People” edit box, enter the email address of the person with whom you want to share the file or folder. You can enter more than one email to share with multiple people.
Then, select whether that person “Can edit”, “Can comment”, or “Can view” that file or folder. Selecting Can edit allows the person to make changes to the file or folder and even share it with other people. If you select Can comment, that allows someone to comment on your file, but not make any changes. You cannot select Can comment when sharing a folder. The Can view option only allows the person to view the file or folder, but not make any changes. Enter a message for the person or people in the box below the People edit box.
If you want to get a link to this file or folder you can send to people or share on a webpage, click “Get shareable link” in the upper-right corner of the dialog box.
Once you’ve entered the information to share the selected file or folder, click “Send”.
16_sharing_a_folder
When you’ve shared a file or folder, a small person icon is added to the file or folder icon in addition to the green check mark.
17_shared_folder
In my example, the person with whom I shared the folder, receives an email with an “Open” button to access the folder. When they click “Open”, they get the option to view the file or add it to their Google Drive.
18_email_about_shared_folder
Once they click on the “Open” button, they are given the choice to view the contents of the folder or add the folder to their own Google Drive account. In my example, he chose to open the folder, which opened their Google Drive account in a browser window (or another tab if they were already in a browser) and they see the files in that folder. They can click on a file to edit or view that file, depending on the permissions you assigned to the shared folder.
19_file_in_shared_folder
Here’s an example of someone sharing a Google Docs file with me. I receive an email containing an “Open in Docs” button.
20_email_for_a_shared_file
When I click the “Open in Docs” button, a new browser window or tab opens and displays the document. Since Whitson shared the file with the “Can edit” option selected for the permissions, I can edit the file, add comments to the file, and share the file with other people.
21_clicking_share
Remember the “Visit Shared with me” button on the Sync options tab on the Preferences dialog box? That now comes into play.
22_clicking_visit_shared_with_me
When you click the “Visit Shared with me” button, a browser window opens in your default browser to your Google Drive account and shows you any files that are shared with you. Click on a file or folder to open it.
23_shared_with_me_items
If you delete a file or folder from your Google Drive account that you’ve shared with other people, a warning dialog displays telling you that some people may lose access. If you change your mind about deleting the file or folder, click “Undo”. Otherwise, click “OK” to delete the file or folder.
24_deleting_a_shared_file
Google Drive for Windows is a great tool for anyone who wants to easily access their Google Drive files online or offline and control which files are synced with your PC. It’s also useful for anyone who wants easy access to their files across multiple devices.
