![]() ![]() macOS: Open Applications > Google Drive.Run the installer and complete the installation steps.Users should complete the following steps to download and run Drive for desktop: It also allows you to sync files between your computer and the cloud, and to upload files to Google Drive and Google Photos from external devices.īackup and Sync will remain available until October, 2021, after which users will not be able to sign in to Backup and Sync. Drive for desktop allows you to sync local folders to Google Drive and Google Photos. You can then view these folders and their synced files at is transitioning Backup and Sync to a new file syncing app called Google Drive for desktop. On my observation, Folders from my computer is the section where you can see/access all of the synced folders that you've added from the Google Drive app, on the My Macbook Pro preferences. Isn't this two way communication like backup and sync was? What's the difference between Folders from my computer and Folders from Drive.The Google Drive app will show you a message to reset the folder back to default because it has to be an empty folder before you attempt to change & save the default directory folder If I set up that preference from the current setting /Volumes/GoogleDrive -> /Users/doe/ODrive will that mess my ODrive folder and its content? I'd rather die than loose its content. ![]() There's a preference settings in the new google drive allowing to choose your desired directory location for google drive.At the same time, the ODrive files are backed up and synced from your Drive to your computer and will also be available for offline use Once the folder /Users/doe/ODrive on the My MacBook Pro preferences has been successfully added & synced, you will then see the ODrive folder on your > Computers (left side) > My MacBook Pro > ODrive. ![]() And also, if you have Google Docs, Sheets, Slides or Forms on your ODrive, the app seems to not upload these files back & it will show you an error on the app's activity screen. But, there's a catch as the uploaded files will be now be a duplicate because the Google Drive app will treat this as a new upload. This way, the files from your ODrive will be uploaded back to your drive instead. If you want to tell Google Drive to use those files and not download anything, the only option that you can do is to select the Stream Files option & then add the folder /Users/doe/ODrive on the My MacBook Pro preferences. How do I tell google drive to use those files and not download anything?
