How to get the UNC path of a file hosted on Google Drive?

There are several answers in this SO post, you can check some answers there.

But of all, here is the quickest:

Maybe a long way around but open a cmd window. Then do net use > filename

Then open the filename and you can get the path: Ex:

C:\Users\me\net use > drives.txt

Opening drives.txt

New connections will be remembered.
Status       Local     Remote                    Network
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
             H:        \\server\c\proj\net       Microsoft Windows Network

Can copy \\server\c\prog\net from the file for your use.

Hope this helps.

You also have another choice, convert shared folder path to UNC path.
