@jotosmurf Did you ever find a solution for the Team Drive ("Shared drives") not working?
@jotosmurf @jonaswouters I can reproduce the problem.. Unfortunately I didn't find any solution. I guess there's difference between the implementation of personal drive and shared drive in the filesystem, which may lead to different "Attributes" flags. But I have no idea which flag need to tweaked.
I updated the script for the new description.

@nijawang Rebooting windows did the trick for me.
@cmpute Thanks for adding the team drive functionality! It does add the correct registery keys as I manually verified each one by looking them up in regedit.
The two menu items show up. However unfortunately clicking the sidebar menu for the Team Drive does nothing whereas clicking the sidebar menu for the personal drive correctly opens the appropriate folder. (@svenkle, maybe your experience helps?)
This is really strange as I have been comparing the code you execute for both the personal and team drive and it is exactly the same (apart from the variables of course).
It actually boggles my mind why this does not work properly as all the properties for the different attributes are exactly the same for both personal and team registery keys, as per your script.
Btw, Google decided to rename their folders again:
The casing for zh-CN might be lower case for 'drives'. This time I could not find the exact translation.
