Google Drive – How to Share a Folder Not in the Root

file-sharinggoogle-drive

Is there a way for sharing a folder on Google Drive without having it in the root of Google Drive?

If not possible:

  1. Do you know a sharing system with a decent free size, that allows this option?
  2. The other way around, is it possible to exclude sub-folders from the sharing?

N.B. For sharing I mean uploading it online, not necessarily sharing with other people.

If you're asking how to have a folder synchronized without having the location of the folder within your Google Drive folder, you can do so with Symlinks. The program mentioned in that article, Link Shell Extension, is a great way to do this if you're either uncomfortable with the command line, or if you're doing most of your folder operations in explorer.
