Google Backup App Mac Or Windows

This is welcome news because Drives current desktop client does not allow for selective sync of any folders that dont live inside of the Google Drive folder on your Mac or Windows PC.

The forthcoming Backup and Sync app is better integrated with your computer than the existing client and will replace it on Wednesday, June 28.

According to the search firm, Backup and Sync is intended to help everyday users back up files and photos from their computers, so theyre safe and accessible from anywhere.

As mentioned, youll be able to continually back up any items found in custom folders on your computer, like the Desktop, Photos, Documents and so forth.

Basically, you could use the new app to back up and sync your entire Mac accounts home folder to Drive and use Googles powerful search engine via Drives web interface to quickly identify that needle in the haystack you were looking for.
