There are also new context menu entries for three of the Google Docs Editors suite apps, namely Docs, Slides, and Sheets, that haven’t gone down well with users as it makes the menu looks cluttered. This virtual drive has been described as being intrusive and unnecessary by those that dislike it and there has been a growing demand from users to provide an option to hide it. And why it created a new drive on my explorer to access Google Drive, I wan’t to turn that off please

Why can’t I turn off the little “check icon” on each synchronized folder. So I get the new Drive app for Desktop and it’s get less options than the other app before. I downloaded the app and now I have a Windows menu item called Google Drive, but when I click on it, there is no app interface as I expected Google says: “Use Google Drive to automatically back up photos from your computer to Google Photos”. The main gripe seems to revolve around the new virtually mounted Google Drive G: Drive that allows one to access files without having to download them first. However, even with all of its glory, the revamped client has evoked mixed reactions from users. One can download it manually through the official Google Drive site as well. This was followed by prompts relayed through the Backup and Sync app that said that “Google Drive for Desktop is coming soon”, thus requesting users to switch over to it.įast forward to now and the update is currently rolling out. Google had earlier this year announced plans to merge its Drive File Stream and Backup and Sync apps into a single app known as Google Drive for Desktop that will perform the same functions as the two older apps. New updates are being added at the bottom of this story… Original story (published on September 07, 2021) follows:
