G Desktop Suite
When it comes to cloud storage and syncing files, you've probably heard of Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive. They both do a great job with similar features, but Google Drive gives you more free space. Plus, it works really well with other Google services, making it popular worldwide.
Why Google Drive is Awesome
You really can't go wrong with Google Drive! It lets you create, edit, store, and share all kinds of documents and files easily. And the best part? You can access it on just about any device. There are mobile apps for both iOS and Android, plus super user-friendly web apps that you can use right from your browser.
The Shift in Desktop Apps
But here's a bummer: back in September 2017, Google decided to stop supporting the Google Drive desktop app. If you're tired of juggling multiple tabs in your browser while accessing Google Drive, there's a cool third-party app you might want to try called G Desktop Suite.
A Closer Look at G Desktop Suite
This app is built on ElectronJS technology. Basically, it acts like a wrapper that runs Google Drive on your desktop instead of in your browser. Now, it's not the lightest app out there; Electron apps usually take up some resources. But don't worry! Your modern computer should handle it just fine.
Main Perks of Using G Desktop Suite
The biggest perk? You get to work with Google Drive in its own little space away from all those distracting tabs! It brings everything together—Google Sheets, Docs, Slides, Forms—right to your desktop. Oh, and if you like working late at night? There's even a Dark Mode feature that makes it easier on the eyes!
A Worthy Alternative
All things considered, G Desktop Suite has some solid reasoning behind its design. Sure, some folks say native Windows apps would be better than Electron apps. But since we don't have one available right now, G Desktop Suite stands out as one of the best options out there worth checking out!
