My university (NUI Galway) has recently upgraded the proxy settings for the wired network on campus, but Google Drive is now unable to connect to sync.
In the proxy settings for software programs (Firefox, IE, Dropbox, Mendeley etc.) you need to change the settings to "no proxy". And the aforementioned programs now work grand.
But there doesn't seem to be an option to change the proxy settings for Google Drive.

Any thoughts?

EDIT: I've sorted it out. You just need to go to Internet Options in the Control Panel, then the Connections tab and LAN settings, and make sure you haven't selected a proxy or for it to automatically detect settings.
