That way, your files are always up to date and can be accessed from any device.

If you edit, delete, or move a file in one location, the same change happens in the other location.

After syncing, the files on your computer match the files in the cloud. Syncing is the process of downloading files from the cloud and uploading files from your computer’s hard drive. Drive for desktop also syncs local files to the cloud in the background, which cuts down on the amount of time you have to wait for files to sync. To address this, Google unified two sync clients Google Drive File Stream (which was built for business users) and Backup and Sync (which was built for consumer users) to one syncing tool called Google Drive for Desktop.ĭrive for desktop is a Windows and macOS application that allows you to access data straight from your desktop, allowing you to rapidly access files and folders in a familiar location. As a result being able to keep files, folders, and photos safely synchronized between devices, organized, and backed up has become more important than ever.

People are progressively creating more documents, files, and images and using several devices to access this content.
