You can also choose which files to sync back from Google Drive to your local computer and make available offline. Click Choose folder to add other folders outside of the default choices. You simply install the app, select Preferences, and then select the folders you want to backup. The new Backup and Sync app backs up files and photos from your PC and stores them in Google Drive and Google Photos. The app is aimed at regular consumers rather than business users - Google recommends business users stick with the already available Drive functionality that’s part of its G Suite. The new feature is now rolling out to users in the form of an app called Backup & Sync, and it replaces both the Google Photos desktop uploader and Google Drive for both MacOS and Windows. If you want, Google Backup & Sync can back up your desktop, entire documents folder, and more. Google wants to be better at backing up your computer’s files. While the company already offers a Drive folder that can be installed on your computer, Google has now officially launched a new way to back up and sync any folder that you point it toward on your computer.
