You can select which specific folders on your mac to sync and share files with other users or clients.ĭoing so, you can free up storage space on your Mac. The Google Drive desktop application allows you to access, upload, and download files between your Mac and Google Drive. Lastly, we’ll go through the process of uninstalling Google Drive from your Mac. This guide will also show you how to pause and resume syncing and how to disconnect your Google Account from a Mac. We have an in-depth look at how to download, install, and set up the Google Drive application called “ Backup and Sync” from Google. An alternative is to use Github, or to use G Suite's shared drives.This guide will take you through everything you need to know about how to use Google Drive on a Mac. (This is done by right-clicking on the file > Manage versions > Upload new version.) In my opinion, this makes collaboration more difficult compared to before, when items could be added to My Drive. Unfortunately, entire folders can't be copied at once using the features in the Web app, although you could download the folder, then upload it to your Drive, instead.įor files that are not Google Docs editors, when edit access is granted to other people's files, it appears that Google Drive now expects users to manually upload edits, through the Web app. In both cases, the copies will be placed in "My Drive", which you should move to a sub-folder. If its parent is a shared folder, select the files you want to copy, right click on the selected files and select "Make a copy". If its parent is "Shared with me", right-click on the file and select "Make a copy". To ensure that you keep someone else's files permanently, make a copy. It is always possible for the other person to permanently delete their files (often this would simply arise from technical reasons, such as deleting their account, reducing storage, or accidents, rather than an unkind decision).
In addition, it prevents people from believing that other people's files are permanent. This does simplify syncing, as far less data is used to sync a shortcut, compared to large items. However, items can no longer be placed in more than one folder. This made syncing other people's files with one's computer's hard drive easy. Previously, one was able to add files and folders from "Shared with me" to one's Drive. This is a recent change (from around April 2020).
