Title: Cannot replace the former Google Drive Folder Name Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Cannot replace the former Google Drive Folder Name * Resolved [Dr. Ashok Koparday](https://wordpress.org/support/users/drashok/) * (@drashok) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-replace-the-former-google-drive-folder-name/) * Hi David, Greetings. * I have changed to another Google Drive Account. I am not able to insert Google Drive Folder name. I cannot delete the former Google Drive Folder name. Hence, I **cannot replace the former Google Drive Folder name with the new one.** Is this configured in UpdraftPlus Backup or there is some other reason?

I haven’t used any other backup plugin. * I had no difficulty in UpdraftPlus configuration then. It was not an UpdraftPlus Premium plugin. * Am I making a mistake somewhere?

Then it’ll change the folder name to “UpdraftPlus” (and be fixed at that, in the free version). * Best wishes, David * Thread Starter [Dr. Ashok Koparday](https://wordpress.org/support/users/drashok/) * (@drashok) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-replace-the-former-google-drive-folder-name/#post-4947895) * Hi David, Greetings I finally realized that UpdraftPlus does backup restore on GoogleDrive **ONLY** for premium members. * The Google Drive Folder named “UpdraftPlus” cannot be edited. Folder with the same name on Googe drive does not store any backup files. * There is no way to use the code that comes after #folders/ even if one creates“ UpdraftPlus” folder on the drive. * Meaning, unless you are a premium member you cannot use UpdraftPlus for Backup Restore on Google Drive. * Am I correct? * Thanks for making this premium feature available to us for long time.

Your folder name that is used will be “UpdraftPlus”. * David * Thread Starter [Dr. Ashok Koparday](https://wordpress.org/support/users/drashok/) * (@drashok) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-replace-the-former-google-drive-folder-name/#post-4947897) * David, I am sorry for sounding bitter. * I spent substantial time configuring the folder ‘UpdraftPlus’ on the Google Drive, but did not succeed. * Your reply is reassuring. I shall try again. * I have used Updraft Plus before. UpdraftPlus being reliable it emboldens one to do web development without fear. * > Success: you have authenticated your Google Drive account.
