Google Drive has recently updated the desktop file sync client from the old Backup and Sync to a new system. With the old program, I used net use at the Windows Command Prompt, e.g. net use r: "\\localhost\c$\path\to\my\Google Drive" to map my Google Drive folder to drive letter R:\, that way it'd be consistent on any machine. But, with the new program, trying something similar, net use m: "\\localhost\j$\My Drive" yields this error:

System error 53 has occurred.

The network path was not found.

The path J:\ used by the new Google Drive is actually a virtual drive, which may be the issue. I also had issues with the subst command. How do I map my My Drive folder to a persistent drive letter that will cooperate with Google's file syncing? In case it matters, I'm on Windows 10.

Per this post, it isn't possible because of the way the virtual drive works.
