Unable To Connect Local Drive With Google Drive App For Mac

I'm behind a proxy at work which requires proxy authentication, and wouldn't work with. So I followed the instructions in to setup Dropbox with Cntlm (a kind of local machine proxy server). Happily you can make Google Drive use the same localhost proxy to connect to the Internet by simply changing your browser settings. In Internet Explorer: Tools - Internet Options - Connections Tab - LAN settings button. Set the proxy server address to localhost and the port to whatever you configured Cntlm to use (3128 in my case).

Press OK to the settings and restart Google Drive. So long as your corporate firewall isn't blocking the actual web addresses for Google Drive you should now be OK, and you should still be able to browse. Google has information on what firewall rules to add, but to be honest, compared to Dropbox's simple proxy settings, this one is a pain.

We apply a default policy on our proxy so that our callers cannot access the internet (except for select sites) when they are working (they can during their breaks). As a result anyone in the back office that wants to use the internet for http/s must authenticate with the proxy - which is of cause not supported by Google Drive. My workaround was to set workstations that need access to Google Drive to bypass the proxy for google.com, which is now allowed through the proxy without authentication. I can't see that there is an option for people who have no option but to authenticate with a proxy though. A workaround is to disable proxy in Internet Explorer and instead to use a proxifier that supports HTTP proxies. You will need to know the network address of the proxy server.

I will use in this example. It is easy to configure, and has a very nice option: 'Use integrated Windows authentication'. Here are the step-by-step instructions: 1. In Proxycap follow these steps: - Configuration - Proxies - Add HTTP proxy (set Type to HTTP) - Add HTTPS proxy (same settings as for HTTP proxy, but Type=HTTPS) - Configuration - Rules - Add 'Force direct connection' rule for your LAN IP range, such as 192.168.0.0/24 - Add rule: action='redirect', proxy=HTTPPROXY, all programs, port=80 - Add rule: action='redirect' proxy=HTTPSPROXY, all programs, port=443 - Close the Configuration box by clicking OK. In Internet Explorer follow these steps: - Tools - Internet Options - Connections tab - LAN settings button - Uncheck all checkboxes.
