Introducing Drive File Stream

Looking for a quicker, easier way to work with Google Drive on a PC?

 Meet Drive File Stream for Windows.

This new option from Google makes working on files stored in Google Drive as simple as working on files saved in a folder on your laptop and replaces the old Google Drive for PC application.  Drive File Stream is only meant for your computer NOT shared computers like student workstations in a lab or library.
