Google Announces Unified Google Drive App for All Users Feb 8, 2021 18:31 GMT Google says the change will take place later this year Google wants to streamline the suite of apps that allows users to keep their files in sync, so the company will reconsider its offering to provide everybody with just one application aimed at all computers. In other words, a new app called Google Drive for desktop will replace Google Drive – Drive File Stream and Backup for Sync, all with the purpose of bundling all their capabilities for one very straightforward approach regardless of account type. The change will come into effect later this year, and Google says it’s working on making the transition as smooth as possible.
