Everything worked fine on Windows 7, but not anymore.
Both Google Drive and Dropbox are set to autostart with Windows, but they don't. I even tried adding Drive shortcut to startup folder, but to no avail. I can start Drive manually though.
And Dropbox has another issue - I couldn't install it as "normal" admin account, so I had to run the setup as administrator (elevated), but Dropbox setup clearly stated "Dropbox will not work correctly if installed using "run as administrator command". However, I had not choice, since normal install didn't work. Now I can also run Dropbox manually, but only with "run as admin" command.
This whole admin and elevated rights issue with Windows 8 is a bit of a nightmare. Half of the installations don't work with normal rights.
Basically, what I want is both Google Drive and Dropbox to autostart with Windows and function properly.
