At the beginning of this year, Google announced that it would change its computer-installed version of Google Drive strategy. The new application will replace “Backup and Sync” and add automatic Gooogle album upload function. Now this new and revised desktop version of the application has started It has been pushed to users one after another, and the most worth mentioning is that it also adds a new practical function to connect with multiple accounts.
The new computer version of the Google Drive application is launched, supporting Google Photos upload, multi-account connection and other functions
For a long time, Google has adopted two different computer version applications to back up your data to its cloud hard drive. In January this year, the enterprise version of “Drive File Stream” was renamed “Google Drive”. For desktop” (the desktop version of the cloud drive), it was subsequently announced that the “backup and synchronization” application centered on individual users would be unified in 2021.
Personal and business users will integrate the same Google Drive desktop version for backup, allowing you to upload photos directly from this application to Google Photos for backup. Other functions include Apple album upload and USB storage Support etc. In addition, other upcoming features include synchronizing local folders (documents, desktops, etc.) to Google Cloud Drive, as well as multi-account connection support. At the same time, general users will be able to synchronize a single file in “My Cloud Drive” for offline use, use the dark mode, and integrate access to the contents of Microsoft Office and Outlook, etc.
In the multi-account connection section, different from the current process that you must log out and then log in to other accounts if you want to change the connection account, Google explains that you can connect and access files from 4 different Google accounts at the same time, just click the upper right corner to Can switch and add new accounts in time.
In the file upload of Google Photos, you can choose the photo quality, and in terms of file type, you can check whether to ship screenshots, RAW files, etc. These features will be launched in Google Drive Desktop 49. At present, only a small number of users have begun to receive this update, but Google has previously stated that transition and integration are imperative, and I believe you will get the new features soon Up.
