This has left me with low storage on my Windows PC – something I never have to worry about on my Chromebook with the files app while storing with Drive. I store a lot of data in Google Drive and I set up Backup & Sync to run on the solid state drive where my operating system and other vital programs are. It’s a wonderful tool for someone like me who uses Chromebooks for day to day living and only uses his PC for game development, but there’s just one problem. Any changes made to files here will be synchronized instantaneously between the local machine and the cloud.
You can think of this just like you would something like Dropbox where it creates a local folder on the user’s hard drive.
For regular users, Google’s Backup and Sync tool allows them to download their entire Google Drive or select files and folders to their Mac or PC’s local storage.
