Drive for Desktop Adds Mac Support

During the most recent overhaul of ‘Drive for Desktop’, Google’s uniform cloud storage and file-syncing service, the tech giant has finally rolled out comprehensive support for Apple M1 Macs. With that said, Mac enthusiasts using Apple silicon are now granted the possibility to make the most of Google Drive for desktop. Keep reading for more information.

Following the brief outline above, Mac users working on Apple silicon are now, indeed, welcome to fully benefit from the tech behemoth’s updated unified client. After a long period of having two independent clients in two configurations (for individuals and for businesses), Google made a decision to combine them into a single all-around wonderful feature.

Besides offering M1 Mac support, the most recent Google Drive edition also flaunts enhanced access to the content that users create offline, the option for controlling and purchasing extra storage space from the service, as well as the possibility for cameras to back up to Drive for desktop. You should know that the enhancements don’t end there. 

This recent Drive for desktop overhaul, which is now extensively up for grabs for both Mac and Windows users, also comes with:

• polished sync operation when establishing a connection with a network after working with no Internet connection;
• enhanced progress notifications during file upload from a USB device;
• extra feature that focuses on using the Meet extension for enabling SIP calls.

Now that Google is not limited by the burden of sustaining two standalone clients, further Google’s cloud storage service updates are expected to arrive a lot faster than before.
