![]() Surely there are THOUSANDS of people who would pay a couple hundred dollars for this device. I am ASTOUNDED that there is not a HUGE market for a consumer device that would allow you to simply place a stack of photos in a hopper and have a scanner process images automatically. Not to mention, there is the intermediary of the carrier (USPS, FedEx, UPS, etc.) on BOTH sides of the operation, and in my experience, those guys lose things WAY too often to trust them with my treasured memories. You can use a scanning service, but sending my precious photos out to some anonymous nit-wit in a lab somewhere is NOT a gamble I am willing to take (also, have you seen Red Dragon?! –I don’t want that guy handling my photos). The problem is, there are NO good options (time efficient, decent-quality, and inexpensive). Therefore, anyone born before 1984 has probably wanted to scan in a ton of photos at one time or another. Consumers didn’t start using digital cameras until the mid-nineties or so. I will update this post if I find a solution, but in the meantime, feel free to post your thoughts/solutions in the comments!Īnyone born before 1984 has albums (or stacks) of printed photos. This seems like a pretty decent guess as to why this is happening, but I’m not sure what to do about it (other than to always manually shut down Google Drive before shutting down the computer, which isn’t exactly an ideal solution). I'm guessing that Google Drive gets seriously confused when CCleaner partially deletes the contents of this directory. This directory disappears when the Google Drive application is shut down manually. Within this directory are a large number of subdirectories, DLLs, and what appear to be Python files. When the Google Drive application is running, it creates a directory under C:\Users\Chukhung\AppData\Local\Temp with a name like "_MEI54082" (the last five digits of the directory name change every time the Google Drive application is started). ![]() In a thread discussing problems with Piriform’s CCLeaner and Google Drive, I found this information: ![]() ![]() So once you’ve reinstalled Google Drive, you have to create a new folder, associate it with Google Drive, dump all the contents of your old Google Drive into the new folder, rename the folder, and then wait for Google Drive to figure out what the hell just happened (update sync database). And it’s a serious pain in the butt, because every time you do this, in order to associate a folder with Google Drive, the drive has to be empty (you can’t associate a folder with any contents). I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling Google Drive, but to no avail. (screenshot from – click for link to thread) …and Google doesn’t seem to care! There are posts from years ago on the Google forums, and responses from Google admin saying “we’re looking into this,” but the problem still exists (in Win 7 and Win 8). ![]()
