I thought it was something pertaining to the permission to modify files, just wasn't aware of the exact cause.

However, even the C:\Google Drive\Library format didn't work. Currently,
only C:\Library works. A minor disappointment since I wanted my library up on Google Drive as well, but I guess I have no choice.
