Candidate Solutions
Integrate Samsung ZFold 4 MyFiles application with Google Drive effectively
Google Drive is a great application available on ALL Android phones
Google Drive gives you a shared cloud storage you can share across multiple devices and users concurrenlty
Google Docs can edit docs with multiple users concurrently on Google Drive
MyFiles Samsung app allows you to manage files on an Android device locally ( internal storage )
You can add Google Drive as a remote storage device
This allows you to move files between your local phone storage and your Google Drive cloud storage
Problem: MyFiles sync feature doesn't work on Google Drive automatically - On Chrome log out and in on your Google account
After the logout and in on Chrome, any updates on Google Drive will now sync automatically with MyFiles in the Google Drive folder
