How do I get the path where Google Drive is installed?

I need to detect if Google Drive is installed on the machine and retrieve the base path when files are stored. I prefer not to use the google API but read that information from a registry key or a config file.

Couldn't find an answer online.

Can anybody help? Thanks.

I'm sorry Richard but your link doesn't look very helpful. From a C# application I want to know what's the folder that contains the documents stored in Gdrive.
