Re: Google drive & sync and backup drive download

[Andrew Lamanche]

Yes, Tim, you have been right; I have finally located the agree link/box to 
make the process move on.  I’m grateful for the insight; I’d never have guessed 
what the problem was.  Now I shall be vigilant in similar situations.  Good 
learning curve.

Best wishes

Re: Google drive & sync and backup drive download

[Tim Kilburn]

Hi,

Yes, Google File Stream is only for G Suite accounts for Education or Business. 
 Backup & Sync is more like your current Google Drive as it continues to store 
files locally unless you place them in specific folders that you configure not 
to sync.  Backup & Sync also does not handle Team Drives, but this is often 
immaterial to personal Gmail users.  I can confirm that you need to locate a 
checkbox for agreeing to terms and conditions before the download will start 
though.  Beyond that, it should be a fairly easy and accessible process.

Hi,

You may be right.  My Google account is with our School Board, so that may be 
why I prefer File Stream.  I wasn't aware that it was limited to our G Suite

Re: Google drive & sync and backup drive download

[Tim Kilburn]

Hi,

I believe that there's a checkbox or something like that, that needs to be 
checked before the download will start.  If I remember correctly, it's not 
particularly obvious and it's not initially announced by VO.  You may need to 
do some looking around the page to see if you can find it.  If you still have 
problems with that, let me know and I'll try the download again.  I've still 
got the original dmg download on my Mac, so I've just been using it for 
installation on other machines.  I'm not sure why Google promotes the other two 
options, as I find Google Drive File Stream to be my best option.  I guess 
that's a matter of opinion though.

Re: Google drive & sync and backup drive download

[Andrew Lamanche]

Hi Tim,

Thanks for this but I have a question: is Google File Stream the same as Sync 
and Backup which the alert message mentions?  Also, once I am able to get it, 
will it automatically replace Google Drive, or do I have to delete it manually? 
 As I’ve said previously the alert message about Google Drive being 
discontinued contains a link to download its replacement but the download link 
on the page doesn’t seem to respond.  Any further suggestions, Tim?

Re: Google drive & sync and backup drive download

[Tim Kilburn]

Hi,

The Google Drive Desktop app and related interface is going away real soon.  I 
suggest you download and install Google Drive File Stream.  It allows you to 
have all your Google Drive files available to you, but they do not use up space 
on the local drive unless you purposely download the item for off-line use.  It 
has save me huge amounts of disk space on my Macs without affecting my Google 
Drive space on in the Cloud.

Later...

Subject: Google drive & sync and backup drive download
 
For a couple of weeks now, as soon as I restart my macwhen Google Drive was 
installed it was called backup and sync. After closing out everything, I’m 
taken to this backup and sync thing and I can’t really navigate through it. 
book pro, I get a message that tells me Google Drive is going away soon, and is 
being replaced by Sync and Backup.  The message contains a link to “learn more’ 
and “download”.  The download button opens up the relevant page in Safari but 
when I press download link, nothing happens.  Has anyone else had this happen 
to them?
