I am testing a Google Chrome notebook. Whenever I download a file it goes to a folder called "File shelf" which is somehow connected to my Gmail account. Is it possible to access this folder on a "normal" system running any browser? I did not find how to do it yet. In general, is there a description on how to manage this folder: delete, copy to external storage (USB), etc?
The 'File shelf' is not connected to your Gmail. It's a place on the SSD. If you click 'Ctrl-M' you will get a folder with all the files on your local SSD.
Once you are in the folder - right click will give you the options to delete/rename each file.
If you want wish to do more with this new File API - here is a post I've wrote on it.
Good luck.

I am quite new into the world of remote connections so I don't really know what is possible and what is not.
I have established connection to a remote pc over ssh. I need a large file from this remote to be uploaded to a file-sender internet page. One way is to simply copy the file from remote to my local and subsequently upload from local but I want to speed up this task. I am wondering if there is a (safe) way to 'browse' through files or select files located on remote when selecting files in the upload website?
For illustration, think of selecting an image for Google's search by image and this image is located on my remote computer. After hitting the 'select a file' button, want to be able to pick a file from my remote computer to have it uploaded via this button. My question is not how to upload a file to a remote server.
The remote computer does not have any browser or so installed, it is just a collection of file directories and media disk connections that I can access. (I don't have all the details but this is all I know) That's why using the upload website through an internet browser, for example with a GUI as Ubuntu's Genome, is not an option.
Also, the upload internet page is not a specific url to upload to, so a solution like wget does not work either.
I have tried googling with the question in my title but this leads to me to solutions like Chrome's Secure Shell. I don't completely understand what I can do with it but it feels like that does not allow me to do what I want.
fyi, I work on Windows (using Ubuntu occasionally)
I have found the answer on: http://makerlab.cs.hku.hk/index.php/en/mapping-network-drive-over-ssh-in-windows .
Need to install WinSfp and SSHFS-Win. Then in windows file browser, mount a new network drive with Folder: \sshfs\username#domain . I can now browse the files through the windows file browser and thus can select files for upload
I have asked this question so that they can respond that it is possible to create a shortcut for a file that is in the cloud, this access will be created in the device memory, what is the purpose of this: My application has integrated a function to upload a file to the cloud and then run it from a system application like player, gallery, among others, but without having to download anything, but from an application that is installed Installed on the device (nothing external). Thank you very much.
You may want to check Create a shortcut to a file. As mentioned,
To create a shortcut instead of a file stored in Drive, use the files.create method of the API and make sure you set the MIME type application/vnd.google-apps.drive-sdk. Do not upload any content when creating the file.
However, for Google Drive Android API, you may want to check Creating Files for more information.
I run an apache webserver on ubuntu 16.04
I am creating many kml files on my server and I want the user to click a link that will automatically open the kml on google maps (and not download it)
e.g. click to open map doesn't open the file, it only downloads it.
If I host the file on google drive and get the shareable link to it, and I use this link everything works great (I can use it as a simple href in a HTML page).
Unfortunately, doing it through google drive is not a feasible option for me (too many files, high update rate).
Is there any other way I can do it with local file?
I have a folder in my server which contains daily backup of database and uploads. When I'm uploading this folder, it shows maximum execution problem due to large size of that folder. So I want to share that folder to google drive. Is there any way to share folder?
Based from this forum, it's not possible to sync Google Drive with folders outside of the original Drive folder.
Found this link - I need to sync files and folders outside "Google Drive" folder. which might help.
You can choose any folder during the Google Drive install.
Firstly select "Advanced Setup" on the second page of the Getting
Started screen.
Then click the "Change" button next to Folder Location
Select any folder you want, including network shares and mapped network drives.

Does anyone have an example of VBA code to automatically download a file from Google Drive. I can get to viewing the file in Chrome but then I have to manually select 'Download'. I would like to press a button and then pick the downloaded file from my default 'Download' folder. No in-between intervention.
One option would be to launch the users default web browser with a direct link to download your file from Google Drive, this would prompt the user to Save As / Open your user guide in the same way that it would if they clicked to download a PDF from a website and so might be sufficient.
This question's answer details how to open a url in browser, and you can use this website to create direct download links from Google Drive share links.
Using the 'GetspecialFolder' UDF, you can download files from any cloud drive as simple as:
FileCopy GetSpecialFolder(vbDirGoogleDrive) & "MyFile.DOC", GetSpecialFolder(vbDirDownloads) & "MyFile.DOC"
