Synchronization can happen within minutes provided you have sufficient amount of vacant storage space on your Google Drive account. To check the amount of space you’ve currently utilized, go to https://drive.google.com/drive/my-drive, click on the cogwheel on the top-right corner of the screen and then select Settings.
The next screen will mention how much of your Google Drive allocation is currently under use besides several other pieces of information related to Google Drive. By clicking on Upgrade storage, you’ll be directed to a page that breaks down your storage space usage across several categories as well as detailing all the different plans Google currently offers.
Please note that if you’re using Google Apps, your Google Apps administrator will have to increase the amount of storage for you.
Once you’re done pasting the music files in Google Drive, you need to direct iTunes to your Music Library. You can do this by pressing Shift and clicking the iTunes icon at the same time. This will result in a dialog box asking you to choose your Music Library. To do so, click the Choose Library button and point to your music in Google Drive. Double click the iTunes folder, select iTunes Library and click Open. (Just above the Open button, note the file type is iTunes Library Files *.itl)
iTunes will be launched in a flash and populate with your entire music collection from Google Drive.
The single biggest benefit is that you can easily copy music across countless computers at home or at work by following exactly the same procedure that we illustrated above. All thanks to the smart minds at Google.
