Raspberry Pi Picture Frame Post 16 update 10/1/17

Building another picture frame so I am going to attempt to condense everything to one page

Google drive sync - https://github.com/prasmussen/gdrive

mv "downloaded file" /usr/local/bin/gdrive ~ moves downlaoded file to proper location
gdrive about ~ google authentication, go to website and give access to your drive

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y samba #install samba
sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf #config file for samba
workgroup = WORKGROUP #Make sure it is set to workgroup
wins support = yes #Make sure windows support is enable
# add the following to bottom of file
