Google has just changed the name of the Drive Sync Client from Google Drive for Mac/PC to Backup and Sync. In lay-man terms, a user has to deploy the Drive sync client in one’s desktop/ PC for sync local files to Drive on the web, which automatically made it available on other devices of the said user. However, this does not replace the applications, Drive and Photos can still be used to download the tool, the only thing that has changed is the way consumers can upload their data on to the cloud and use it offline. With this tool, the company states users can sync videos, photos and all kinds of files from various external and internal storage sources. Calling it the Google Backup and Sync tool, launched for both Mac and Windows, it replaces the Google Drive and Google Photos desktop uploader. Google has introduced what it claims to be a simpler, speedier and more reliable way to protect files and photos for its customers.
