我们都知道并且一直在通过其网络平台或我们的移动应用程序使用Google Drive，但现在它也可以作为桌面工具使用。本月早些时候，谷歌(Google)发布了桌面版谷歌云端硬盘(Google Drive for Desktop)，该工具可让您直接从 PC 上的云同步和访问所有文件。这将帮助我们节省磁盘空间，也将节省我们的网络带宽。
Drive的整个设置已更改，免费帐户持有者的所有备份(Backup)和同步(Sync)工具都被Google Drive for Desktop取代。但是，如果您愿意，您仍然可以像以前一样在网络浏览器和应用程序上使用Google Drive 。但是，如果您保存了要上传到云端硬盘(Drive)的大文件，那么此桌面工具将是您更好的选择。

为什么要使用桌面版Google 云端硬盘？(Google Drive)
Drive for Desktop是一种文件同步服务，而不仅仅是像许多其他服务一样的云存储服务。您的所有文件和数据将同时在您的硬盘驱动器和网络上可用。此外，由于您的所有文件都存储在云中，因此您或任何其他协作者所做的所有更改都会自动更新。
该工具还允许您在离线时访问文件，然后在连接到互联网时将它们同步回来。
如何在我的桌面上安装Google Drive ？
在开始安装或部署桌面版Drive之前，请确保您的 PC 上没有运行任何备份(Backup)和同步(Sync)程序。
部署Drive(Drive) for Desktop(Desktop – Download)有三个基本步骤——下载、安装(Install)和检查同步状态。当您在 PC 上下载并安装该程序时，它会自动开始同步您的文件。
在您的 PC 上，打开：
- Windows 上的 GoogleDriveSetup.exe
- 按照给定的屏幕说明下载并安装Drive for Desktop。
- 当程序主动同步您的文件时，您在任一界面中所做的任何更改都将反映在另一个界面中。这意味着，如果您从 Drive for Desktop本地删除了某些内容，它也会从您的 Drive 中删除。
- 检查您的同步状态。当您上传完成时，这意味着您的所有数据都已成功上传到您的云端硬盘(Drive)，您可以从任何安装了桌面版(Desktop)云端硬盘(Drive)的设备上访问它。
打开桌面版 Google 云端硬盘
下载、安装和同步后，您可以在屏幕右下方找到Drive for Desktop工具，该图标位于系统托盘中。(Desktop)
您可以从右上角的“设置”(Settings)按钮更改首选项、暂停同步并检查错误列表。单击(Click)首选项(Preferences)，它将为您打开Drive for Desktop工具。
安全备份您的文件
单击(Click)添加文件夹以在(Add Folder)Drive上添加您的内容。在这里你会得到两个选择——
与 Google 云端硬盘同步
在这里，您正在上传和同步所有文件、文件和文件夹，包括照片和视频。当您删除或编辑任何文件时，这些更改将自动同步。
备份到 Google 相册
在这里您只上传照片和视频，如果您编辑或删除任何文件，这些更改将不会自动同步。
选择您希望如何同步您的“我的云端硬盘”(My Drive)内容
该工具为您提供了两种将“我的云端硬盘”(My Drive)内容从Google Drive同步到您的计算机的方法。您可以流式传输(Stream)文件或镜像(Mirror)它们。
- 流式传输文件(Stream files)- 如果您选择流式传输(Stream)文件，该工具会将您的所有“我的云端硬盘(Drive)”文件存储在云端，您也可以从任何具有桌面版(Desktop)云端硬盘(Drive)的设备访问它们。Streaming(Stream)仅在您选择离线查看文件时才使用硬盘空间，因此可以节省大量 PC 空间。
- 镜像文件(Mirror files)- 另一方面，镜像(Mirror)文件是一个设置选项，其中您的所有文件都存储在云以及您的设备上。所有文件和文件夹都可以离线使用，但会占用硬盘驱动器的大量空间。
您将看到一些带有云符号的文件，如果您打开它们，该工具将暂时将它们流式传输到您的 PC 上，从而最大限度地减少本地驱动器空间的使用。这里唯一的问题是大文件可能需要一些时间来加载。
如何选择(Choose)要离线使用的特定文件和文件夹？
转到您要脱机使用的文件或文件夹，右键单击并在“脱机访问”菜单下选择“脱机可用”。
如何退出 Google 云端硬盘？
转到您的计算机并单击备份(Backup)和同步(Sync)。转到首选项(Preferences)并单击设置(Settings)。单击(Click)断开(Disconnect)帐户，您就完成了。
How to sync Content across all Devices with Google Drive for Desktop
Wе all know and have been using Google Drive from its web platform or our mobile applications but nоw it is available as a desktop tool too. Earlier this month, Google announced Google Drive for Desktop, a tool that will enable you to sync and access all your files directly from the cloud on your PC. This will help us save our disk space and also will save our network bandwidth.
The entire setup of Drive has changed and all the Backup & Sync tools for free account holders are replaced by Google Drive for Desktop. However, you can still use Google Drive as you have been using on the web browser and apps same as before if you want. But if you have saved large files to upload on your Drive, this desktop tool will be a better option for you.

Why should I use Google Drive for desktop?
Drive for Desktop is a file syncing service rather than just a cloud storage service like many others. All your files and data will simultaneously be available on your hard drive as well as on the web. Also, because all your files are stored in the cloud, all the changes made by you or any other collaborators are updated automatically.
The tool also lets you access your files when you are offline and then sync them back when you are connected to the internet.
How do I get Google Drive on my desktop?
Before you start installing or deploying Drive for desktop, make sure that no Backup and Sync programs are running on your PC.
There are three basic steps of deploying Drive for Desktop – Download, Install, and Check the sync status. When you download and install the program on your PC, it automatically starts syncing your files.
On your PC, open:
- GoogleDriveSetup.exe on Windows
- Follow the given on-screen instructions to download and install Drive for Desktop.
- While the program is actively syncing your files, any changes you make in either of the interfaces will be reflected in the other. This means, if you have deleted something locally from your Drive for Desktop, it will also be deleted from your Drive.
- Check your sync status. When you Upload complete, it means all your data is successfully uploaded to your Drive and you can access it from any device which has Drive for Desktop installed.
Open Google Drive for Desktop
Once downloaded, installed, and synced, you can find your Drive for Desktop tool at the bottom right of your screen with the icon lying in your system tray.
You can change the preferences, pause syncing, and check the error list from the Settings button given on the top right corner. Click on Preferences and it will open the Drive for Desktop tool for you.
Safely Backup Your Files
Click on Add Folder to add your content on Drive. Here you’ll get two options-
Sync with Google Drive
Here you are uploading and syncing all your files and files and folders, including photos and videos. When you remove or edit any file, those changes will be automatically synced.
Back up to Google Photos
Here you are uploading only photos and videos and if you edit or remove any files, those changes won’t be automatically synced.
Choose How Do You Want To Sync your My Drive content
The tool offers you two ways to sync My Drive content from Google Drive to your computer. You can either Stream your files or Mirror them.
- Stream files – If you choose to Stream files, the tool will store all your My Drive files in the cloud and you can access them from any device that has Drive for Desktop too. Streaming uses the hard drive space only when you choose to see the files offline and thus can save a lot of space on your PC.
- Mirror files – On the other hand, Mirror files is a settings option wherein all your files are stored on the cloud as well as on your device. All files and folders will be available offline but will take a hell of a lot of space in your hard drive.
You will see some of your files with a cloud symbol and if you open them, the tool will temporarily stream them on your PC thereby minimizing the local drive space usage. The only issue here is that the large-size files may take some time to load.
How Do I Choose specific files and folders to make available offline?
Go to the file or folder you want to make available for offline use, right-click and choose “Available Offline” under the “Offline Access” menu.
How do I quit Google Drive?
Go to your computer and click on Backup and Sync. Go to Preferences and click Settings. Click on Disconnect account and you are done.
