I have a reasonably large (120GB) iTunes library on an iMac with only 35GB free space. I've recently bought the 1TB Google Drive option, so would like to move my music library there. It's still on my mac, but also sync'd to the cloud. All the options for moving iTunes seem to involve copying the music folder during a consolidate step. I 'just' want to drag the folder from one part of my mac to another and then tell iTunes it needs to look there from now on.
Sounds easy enough but is it? I don't want to lose all my playlists etc. If I can avoid it.

3 Steps to Remove Google Drive Duplicates. Clone Files Checker (CFC) has a Cloud Scan mode. Using this mode you can easily scan for duplicate files in your Google Drive storage. Here are easy steps to eliminate duplicates from G Drive and organize your files.
This means that if you add a song to one computer, the other may not see it, and overwrite the library files, which makes the initial computer not see the music you already added as well. It takes a bit of regular 'cleaning up' to work. I'd rather use something else, but Google Drive is the only storage service that isn't blocked at work.
