Google Drive

Google Drive (previously known as Google Backup and Sync) is a super handy app for macOS. It gives you quick access to files and folders stored in the cloud, making it easy to sync your data across different devices and platforms.

Access Your Files Anytime, Anywhere

With Google Drive, you can stash all sorts of files on Google's servers. This means you can get to your stuff from almost any computer or device, no matter where you are!

Easy File Sharing with Friends and Family

Sharing files is a breeze! You can invite friends, family, or coworkers to view or edit your documents. Plus, you can share files publicly with anyone on the Internet—just send them the link—or keep it private for specific people.

Smooth Syncing Control

If you want to control when your files sync, just check out Google Drive's status bar menu. Here, you can pause or resume syncing anytime, open your Google Drive folder, visit your Google Drive page for more options, and see what items others have shared with you.

Storage Management Made Easy

You'll also find it easy to keep track of how much storage space you've used. If you're running low, no worries—you can buy more cloud space right from the app! The Preferences window lets you tweak settings too.

Quick Sharing Options

The context menu in Google Drive is super useful because it speeds up how quickly you can share files. Just a few clicks let you share a selected file or check it out online without any hassle.

Customize Your Sync Settings

If you're picky about what gets synced to your Mac's hard drive, the Sync Options tab in Preferences is perfect for that. You can choose which folders you'd like to keep synced.

Backup Photos Directly

You also have an awesome option to back up images directly to Google Photos right from the app! Just select this option whenever you're adding a new folder.

Your Go-To Cloud Solution

If you're looking for a reliable tool to back up your files in the cloud and keep everything synced across various devices—whether desktop or mobile—then Google Drive should definitely be at the top of your list!
