folder location problem

I think this issue would fall under setup of Windows 8.


I’ve installed google drive, & I’m planning on re mapping the folder(s) under This PC.


I believe I’ve moved the Documents folder under This PC to the google drive. The other folders under This PC, such as the Pictures folder, are synced to google drive, but as you can see in the picture attached, the Documents folder is gone.


I tried to add another folder under This PC, but seems you can’t create a folder under This PC. I try to drag the Documents folder in the google drive folder, but does not seem the folder can be dragged to This PC just as can’t be copied. I can add a network location, but I’d like to have the Documents folder back that is missing.


Is there a way to put the Documents folder back under This PC? I’d like the Documents folder to be under This PC for the user.


Thank You
