<p>Kfunka: </p> <hr /> <div>[https://drive.google.com/ Google Drive] is a file storage and synchronization service developed by Google. At UMD, all current faculty, staff, and students have unlimited Google Drive storage when using their UMD-provided account.<br /> <br /> Google's overarching documentation for Google Drive can be found here: https://support.google.com/drive/<br /> <br /> ==Desktop Apps==<br /> Google currently offers two desktop apps to interact with Drive that can be downloaded here (Windows/macOS):<br /> * Google Drive for Desktop: https://support.google.com/drive/answer/7329379<br /> *[[Google Drive/Backup and Sync | Setup Google Drive Backup and Sync on your device]]<br /> * Backup and Sync is being depreciated for Drive for Desktop. Documentation for migration can be found here: [[Google Drive/Migrating from Backup and Sync to Drive for Desktop | Migrating from Backup and Sync to Drive for Desktop]]<br /> <br /> The key difference between these two apps (i.e. what one provides that the other does not) is that Drive for Desktop provides on-demand streaming of files stored in your Drive to your computer, whereas Backup and Sync allows you to continuously sync local folders from your computer (such as Documents, Pictures, Videos, or any other folder of your choice) to Google Drive.<br /> <br /> A full feature comparison can be found here: https://support.google.com/drive/answer/7638428?hl=en<br /> <br /> Please note that Google has stated that features from Backup and Sync will be included in Drive for Desktop in an update later in 2021. Backup and Sync will then be phased out in favor of Drive for Desktop. However, until further information is available, Backup and Sync is still the only way to continuously sync local folders to Google Drive in a backup-style operation. Further information on the transition can be found here: https://support.google.com/drive/answer/10309431</div>

<p>Kfunka: </p> <hr /> <div>In February 2021, Google announced that they’re unifying their 2 existing Drive sync clients—Backup and Sync and Drive File Stream—into a unified sync client called Drive for desktop. The migration process will be a guided flow through the Backup and Sync to help users transition onto Drive for desktop. This documentation explains this guided flow further.<br /> <br /> ==Windows Setup==<br /> * The first step is to select the backup and sync cloud in the lower righthand corner of your desktop. If the icon is not immediately visible, select the up arrow to show more icons.<br /> :[[File:Screenshot 2021-10-11 124233.jpg|400px]]<br /> * Then you must select the &quot;GET STARTED&quot; button<br /> :[[File:Screenshot 2021-10-11 124302.jpg|400px]]<br /> * After that, select the &quot;Sign in&quot; button.

Make sure to select the account with $YOURUSERNAME@umd.edu<br /> :[[File:Screenshot 2021-10-11 124350.jpg|800px]]<br /> * After you have signed in, Drive for Desktop will check your folders to make sure all of your files are up to date and ask you to review your settings and inform you of the location of your Google Drive in your local filesystem.<br /> *Drive for Desktop will then ask you if you would like to store your photos and videos from your computer on your Google Drive or your Google Photos. NOTE: If you select the Google Photos option, you will need to sign into Google Photos using your $USERNAME@umd.edu Google account to access them. They will not sync into your personal Google account.<br /> :[[File:Screenshot 2021-10-11 124737.jpg|800px]]<br /> *You will then be prompted to remove Backup and Sync from your system, go ahead and select the &quot;OK&quot; option as this software will eventually become depreciated.<br /> :[[File:Screenshot 2021-10-11 124817.jpg|800px]]<br /> * Congratulations! Drive for Desktop is now installed on your system and you can start to save files to the Google Drive directory in your filesystem. Any folders previously backed up by Backup and Sync will now be backed up by Drive for Desktop as will as any files saved to the Google Drive directory in your filesystem.</div>
