Run as service does not allow my GSuite Drive as "Stored"

Post by JakeReindl »

I really want to go back to running BI as a service. But I recently added my Google Drive File Stream as the stored location.
It's working great, and with a Gigabit connection, it takes very little time to pull up archived footage from forever ago.
However, when running as a service, it seams BI have no access to that drive. Probably because the drive is created by an application and not the windows file system?
I am looking for workarounds. I tried created a symbolic link and that didn't work. Same with a hardlink. I guess none of those features like the drive either. I can continue using as an application, but would love to go back to as a service if possible. Any ideas?

Did you try running as Admin?
Are you running the desktop Google Sync, that shows an icon in Windows Explorer?

When I run the application, yes, I run as administrator and it works just fine with GDrive. But again, stops working when I run as a service.

I am not running Google Sync, I am running Google Drive File Stream. And it is running in the task bar, yes.

Looks like an issue for BI Support.

Have you tried updating the BlueIris service with your GSuite logon credentials?

Can you explain that? I have not been using BI to directly upload to GSuite, I have been pointing the "Stored" folder in BI to "J:\BlueIris Archives" Where "J:\" is the drive created by GSuite.
