Map Google drive to a real drive on windows

So you just installed Google drive and noticed that it syncs to a folder on your machine. Oh geez I thought I will get a cool new drive letter assigned for me, but now I have to traverse to the Google's folder every-time. You know you can put a shortcut to that folder and use it but its still not a drive :(

So we learn how to map a folder to a drive on windows.

-> Open command prompt by typing cmd in your run
-> Enter the following command

 subst X: <path/to/google/drive>


X is any free available drive letter on your machine

Voila u got a whole new drive!!!
