![]() Other most liked and of course most used features will be included as well such as multi account access, syncing local folders to Google Drive as well as enabling regular users to be able to sync their personal files to My Drive for offline use, allow dark mode, and also use Microsoft Office. The previous application ‘Drive File Stream’ now named ‘Google Drive for desktop’ will get a feature allowing their users to back up their photos and videos to Google Photos and also connect USB storage, but this is not only feature which will be replacing Backup and sync. Thus google has decided to merge these two applications later till 2021 to bring out most of the features used from both ‘Drive File Stream’ and ‘Backup and Sync’ in ‘Google Drive for desktop’ to the users. The reason for this is that google workplace customers said that managing these two applications have been challenging for end users and for the IT department. Google is planning to plant this feature in Drive for desktop as well. Backup and Sync has the feature where it offers Google photos upload. 9to5 google recently reported on 4th Feb, 2021 that Drive for desktop will be replacing Backup and Sync in 2021. This was renamed so as to place the first step towards unifying these two applications. Google renamed the ‘Drive File Stream’ to ‘Drive for desktop’ last month. For those who wish to have all their content backup up to cloud and to easily have access over their files in Drive and images in Google Photos, Google had ‘Backup and Sync’ developed (for personal use), and for teams (business use) Google developed ‘Drive File Stream’ so that all the files can have access from the Drive directly to any Mac or PC, without using any disk space. This issue makes the Insync completely useless for me, unless the Developers bring up a solution that will be able to bypass this new unwanted behavior of GDrive.Google released two new applications to replace the Google Drive app in order to separate content for personal use and business use. Now I have to figure out how they could be reverted from their who-knows-what-changed-since-then states of old backups. Some days ago I lost a lot of important config files, because they silently became links only and the mess rolled through / around all my accounts with 100+ Gb. Now the shared folders and files are a similar drag, but more severe, because they had been changed by many accounts of mine and now their storage place are scattered (no, the selective ‘Shared with me’ feature doesn’t work for me since it syncs outside of the added folders). However I still should use another 3rd party app between the GD and OD, because of the removed symlink support (introduced in 2013, removed in v3). I have Insync licences since it rolled out, and few years ago I bought the Developers Plan, because it was able to resolve the “bridges” between my multiple accounts (many GDrives, many OneDrives). This issue exists for files not just within one account, but shared files for other accounts which is the case of mine. I can’t get why Google decided to spare storage for paying customers with this change and why they can’t let the paying customers decide how they want to store their files.
