I’ve switched to it already and it feels faster to sync large amounts of data. Update: The new app is now available for download. The transition is scheduled to start in a few weeks and it will end in September 2021, when it will be mandatory to make the switch if you want to keep your computer in sync with your Drive cloud account. Currently only a link to the actual cloud file is stored on your desktop. Sometimes documents in Google Drive format take a really long time to open. Right-click the selected content and select ' Download ' in the pop-up window.
Open the Shared with me interface, and then select the content that needs to be synced to the desktop. Mirror Drive documents to local computer for faster access – this is really a cool option. Go to the Google Drive website and log in to your Google account.Sync external disks and flash drives to the cloud – the current app allows this, so it’s not really new functionality.Upload and sync option for photos and videos with Google Photos and/or Drive– a similar option exists right now, but with no management options, just upload to both services.Anyway, there are also a few new additions, according to Google: The merge is probably an attempt to simplify things for those who are both business users and consumers. Linux is not supported because there still isn’t an official Google Drive app for the operating system used by Google’s servers. Google just announced it will be merged with the now old Backup and Sync app for both Windows and macOS later this year. I wasn’t aware there was a different app for Google Drive business users, but there is and it’s called Drive File Stream.
