The trouble isn't the browser. It's the slightly new (to me) Gmail interface. I went ahead and tried Chrome and Firefox browsers, but as you'd expect, there's no difference.
Now I'm wondering if Drive is the problem! The Google instructions involve uninstalling Google Drive from the Windows control panel. But when I check that, Drive is not listed - so maybe Drive is not really installed, or maybe it's one of the programs which doesn't show up in the "uninstall a program" list? It isn't listed in All Programs either. Bill On Wed, Oct 1, 2014 at 3:55 PM, Marko Vukovic <[email protected]> wrote: > Bill > > Everyone who has a Google account has access to Drive.
