Google is shutting down its Drive desktop app for uploading files to your cloud storage account from Macs and PCs next March.
That’s a while away, but it’s worth knowing in case you have important files stashed there. The service will replace the existing app with Backup & Sync, which launched last month and keeps your selected files up-to-date in the cloud, along with photos.
In addition, it’s bringing G Suite users a new feature called Drive File Stream, which lets you see cloud-based files in your desktop file explorer as if they were stored on your hard drive; you can then ‘stream’ then on demand (Dropbox offers similar functionality already).
