Thread: Google Drive: How to install, update and sync MT4

  1. #1
    I have a HP laptop (windows 10), an HP PC in your home (windows 7) and also a sung android smartphone. I'd like someone to offer me very clear detailed directions about how to get my mt4 exactly the same on all computers using Google Drive.
    I have downloaded uninstalled, reinstalled and'm getting so frued. I cannot get my Home PC to sync with my laptop google drive to sync my MT4 install. I have followed google directions from people on the web. . But there seems to be something distinct or not as simple as drag and drop or copy and paste. . For example I just discovered that Google drive has two distinct types, an internet based program and a desktop program. (I'm not the best at computers. LOL)
    Please if someone responds. Walk me from beginning to end like I'm a newbie...
    Google drive claims it's synced but it never is. While I see the mt4 folder within my home computer and start it. It's never exactly like my laptop. I have sync all folders on in preferences.


    1. I predominately trade from my laptop. My home PC is for when I wish to work form home. Ideally, off the same MT4 profiles and indiors as on my laptop.
    2. Is there a particular order I want to be installing google drive or mt4 on computers.
    3. Should I begin from scratch? Uninstalling all Mt4 off all computers and then install in a certain order?
    4. Should I install mt4 just in web based google desk or drive high google drive?


    Any help will be sooo greatly valued. I hate trying to keep 2 mt4 s and all indiors and adjustments , updates etc.. On two distinct computers. Thank you for any assistance, Russ

    Hello Rascal,

    I believe I want the same as you. However, my aproach is going to be slightly different than your having all the mt4 under gdrive folder.
    I'm going to configurate different MT's with essential directories pointing into gdrive. As an example, Indiors:

    1 - At gdrive, construct a new folder using Indiors folder, at my instance it is loed at \Users\Jesus\Google Drive\testlink\Indiors
    two - Copy there your indiors
    3 - Eliminate from yout mt4 directory the indiors folder, or duplie them again using a different title to have a backup.
    4 - Open CMD command windows and navigate with cd command till your MT directory. At my instance is C:\Program Files (x86)\IG MetaTrader 4-1 Terminal\MQL4
    5 - There, utilize the mklink command to construct a symbolik link at your mt4 till your gdrive new indiors folder like this:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\IG MetaTrader 4-1 Terminal\MQL4gt;mklink /D Indiors \Us
    ers\Jesus\Google Drive\testlink\Indiors

    When you start MT4 again you'll need to find that the indiors that your MT4 manage are the one from Indior Gdrive directory.

    Hope it helps.
    You can do the same with profiles, and lib directories
