Solution

Make sure that Shinydrive is not running when installing other software.

1. Right-click on the Shinydrive icon in the Windows Task Bar

2. Choose Disconnect from the fly-out menu

3. Install software/applications

4. Click Connect from the Shinydrive login screen

For example, when installing Microsoft apps, the installer looks for the highest drive number/volume to create temporary files/folders. This doesn't work with Shinydrive mounted drives.
