I've always enjoyed the convenience of automatically syncing to the cloud, but once the old client is deprecated i'll probably uninstall it and sync manually using a Browser instead.We have designed a Batch File (.bat) that automatically diagnoses Google Drive synchronization errors. Perhaps it's better to remove the old client before installing the new one? I didn't know what would happen if i tried to uninstall the old client with the new one already in place, so instead i removed the new one. Mostly i'm not a fan of having both Clients running side-by-side. I don't need a pretend Drive just sitting there in Windows Explorer annoying me. Any change i make to files will be in the actual Folders that i already have Synced. The new 'Drive' is nothing more than a 'Library' where all your synced folders appear in one place, no matter the actual physical location. With the old client installed it appears that the two are designed to live side-by-side with the settings spread out between them. I assume that if no other iteration of the client is already present, the new one would have all the options. The new Settings page could be accessed from the System Tray icon, but most of the ones mentioned in the Ars article were missing. Right clicking anything within this Drive showed a Context Menu with a slew of new Google Drive options. (The new 'Drive' was also automatically added to 'Quick access'). This Drive was automatically assigned the Drive Letter 'G:'.

There was a new 'Drive' in This PC which was automatically populated with the Folders that i was already Syncing.

There was a new icon in the System Tray, alongside the old one, and a new entry in the Start Menu. The new client installed itself as a seperate program. It appears the writing is on the wall for that client so i tried out the new thing.įirstly i was somewhat confused that the existing Backup and Sync client was not replaced. I have a Folder on my secondary drive and anything inside automatically syncs. This works perfectly fine for me as it is. I'm using 'Backup and Sync', which is the current iteration of the Desktop Client. Google’s new Drive app replaces Backup and Sync with Drive File Stream | Ars Technica
