You can choose select files or folders to automatically sync with Drive, and now, all photos backed up through Drive for Desktop will automatically go into your Google Photos account. Version 49 of Drive for Desktop supports up to four accounts, which you can jump between by clicking your profile picture in the Drive for Desktop app.īut Drive for Desktop also sees some improvements in its basic functionality (that is, backing up and syncing files). In past versions of Drive for Desktop, users had to manually log in and out of each account they wanted to access. The most notable improvement may be multi-account support. Google plans to merge these apps into a unified Drive for Desktop by the end of the year, and to kick things off, it’s rolling out a major update that greatly improves the desktop app’s usability and speed. There’s the consumer-level Backup and Sync, and of course, the enterprise-grade Drive for Desktop (formerly Drive File Stream). We’ve also been answering a lot of questions about the transition to Google Workspaces, Google Drive Storage, Google Vault Former Employee (VFE) licenses, Archived User (AU) licenses, etc.For whatever reason, Google Drive has two different desktop apps. Please reach out to if you have any questions. We use rclone constantly for all kinds of projects and, if you’re comfortable on the command line (or a script-kiddie like me), you can use rclone to mount Drive as a network drive to any machine. InSync now supports Drive File Stream! (we don’t have a device to test … let us know!) You can leverage this tool for a few months until Drive File Stream releases their next large update which is stated to support Drive FS. And they do not currently support ARM-based devices either. If you get a chance to test it out, let us know. There’s a free trial for testing … depending on your use case, it may be worth a look! They’ve always had some slick features.
We’ve got a note out to our friends at Insync (our goto Drive client for Linux) for more feedback on ARM machines. The user leverages as their primary interface AND they’re able to launch desktop apps like Word directly from the web. This allows the User to launch the desktop app from the web … which is really the whole reason for Drive File Stream in the first place. Grab the free Universal File Opener (UFO) from our friends at AODocs. This lapse in foresight now makes them look like they were asleep at the wheel.
Google Support has acknowledged the issue and is working to fix this limitation ASAP.
