If you use the “Google Drive for Mac/PC” sync client, you may have seen a message saying “Google Drive for Mac/PC is going away soon”. Don’t worry, Google Drive itself is NOT going away! It is just the “Drive for Mac/PC” sync client that is being retired in favor of a totally new approach called Drive File Stream.

Drive File Stream is a new application for Macs and PCs designed to make it easier to organize and access Google Drive files.

Should you install Drive File Stream now?

Please read the ITS page titled “Google Drive – New Drive File Stream client” in MyDenison to decide. This page contains ITS’ understanding of Current Drive File Stream Issues and Limitations and other key details based on information available at this time. While useful to all, it contains particularly critical information if you currently use the Drive for Mac/PC sync client.

Already installed Drive File Stream?
