The exact silent switches the Google Drive installer accepts, plus a one-line command you can paste into a script, Intune Win32 app, or Configuration Manager package.

One-line silent install (x64, machine scope)
setup.exe --silent --skip_launch_new --gsuite_shortcuts=false

Run from the directory containing setup.exe. Download the installer from the Direct link below first. Run an elevated terminal (Run as Administrator) for machine-scope installs.

x64machineEXEDeclared by publisher
  • Declared by publisher means the switches come straight from the winget manifest the publisher (or community maintainer) submitted to microsoft/winget-pkgs.
  • Default for {type} means the manifest doesn't specify silent switches, so the framework's standard switches are shown (e.g. /S for NSIS, /quiet /norestart for MSI).

Frequently asked questions

What is the silent install command for Google Drive?
Google Drive uses EXE. After downloading the installer, run: setup.exe --silent --skip_launch_new --gsuite_shortcuts=false. The silent install switches are --silent --skip_launch_new --gsuite_shortcuts=false.
How do I deploy Google Drive via Intune or Configuration Manager?
Use winget for the cleanest path: winget install --id Google.GoogleDrive --exact 130.0.2.0 --silent --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements. If winget isn't viable in your environment, package the publisher's installer directly using the silent switches above.
Where do these silent switches come from?
The switches marked "Declared by publisher" come from the winget manifest the publisher (or community maintainer) submitted to microsoft/winget-pkgs. Switches marked "Default for EXE" come from the installer framework's documented defaults.
