Update:

Google has delayed the shutdown of the “Google Drive for Mac/PC” sync client/app until May 12!

ITS advises transitioning to the new “Drive File Stream” app at your earliest convenience and well before the new shutdown date. This ITS Help Desk Online FAQ provides a high-level overview and detailed instructions for both Mac and PC:

If you would like to arrange an individual appointment to go through the transition process in-person or via a remote session, please email the ITS Help Desk at helpdesk@denison.edu with some times you are available over the next few weeks so we can set up an appointment.

Original Post:

If you are seeing a message on your computer saying that “Google Drive for Mac/PC” is going away, then you are using the soon to be retired “Google Drive for Mac/PC” sync client/app.

Don’t worry – this is NOT Google Drive itself! Google Drive is not going away. What is changing is how you interact with it from your Mac or PC.

As of March 12, if you are still using “Google Drive for Mac/PC”, your computer will no longer sync with Google Drive. The “Google Drive for Mac/PC” app is being fully retired in favor of the new “Google Drive File Stream” app.

ACTION REQUIRED! If you’ve been seeing the above warning message, you should take action this week to transition from “Google Drive for Mac/PC” to “Google Drive File Stream”. Because these two apps interact with your computer differently, there are a number of steps involved. This ITS Help Desk Online FAQ provides a brief and detailed instructions for both Mac and PC:
