The Google Drive app is dying -- time to update (CNET News)
2017-09-08
time to say goodbye to the Google Drive
app Google announced the backup program
has three months to live but don't panic
it's actually not that big of a deal you
see the whole cloud storage space known
as Google Drive that's still alive
what is going away is that app called
Google Drive and that's used to backup
your computers files to the cloud
the name univ it is all a bit messy
Google Drive the app is being replaced
by a program called backup and sync now
this new program is pretty handy you
tell it which folders on your computer
you want to sync to the cloud even make
all your photos and videos automatically
backup to the Google Photos library so
you could use this to have important
folders to be continuously backed up to
your Drive account but that means you
will quickly exceed the 15 gigs of free
space and you'll need to pay for more
the old app no longer will be supported
on December 11th and it will be shut
down completely in March of next year
but you can install the new backup and
sync now
instead of waiting until the last minute
