Note:

With the launch of Drive File Stream in September 2017, Google will begin the process of deprecating the Google Drive for Mac/PC sync tool. Support for the tool ended on December 11, 2017 and the application will no longer be available starting March 12, 2018.

Google Drive File Stream is a desktop application that lets you stream My Drive and Team Drive files directly from the cloud.

Features

• Frees up disk space and network bandwidth utilization
• Decreases sync time
• Minimizes the amount of �ۿ۴�ý data stored on users’ hard drives

With Google Drive File Stream, you can open and edit most document types directly out of Drive File Stream without having to download the file onto your computer. When you make edits to the file, the changes are automatically saved in My Drive.

You can also make My Drive and Team Drive files available for offline access. These cached files sync back to the cloud when you are online, so the latest version is available on all your devices.
