Google Drive File Stream/ Avast issue
« on: May 25, 2018, 02:01:49 PM »
Hello, we are implementing the Windows Google Drive File Stream app on our teacher Windows machines to link to their Google Drive accounts.  The issue as I test my system is that the Google Drive File Stream adds itself to Windows like a removable device and now every night my pushed scan from my Avast Admin console scans that drive and it takes a long time.  What is the best way to exclude it in the admin console settings so that no users will be affected? Drive letters will never be consistent. thx

Figured it out.  Since the Google Drive File Stream installed on Windows will create at different drive letters, you need to add an exclusion that looks like this:
*\My Drive
*\Team Drives

You need the spaces between words.

Hope this helps.
