Embedded Files
Prefer working from your desktop? Google Drive lives there too.
Sometimes you just want to drag-and-drop. If you’re used to navigating folders on your Mac, Drive for Desktop gives you that same feel—but everything you do is backed up to the cloud automatically. It’s a good option when working with large files or organizing your Drive like a traditional hard drive. You might be familiar with how Dropbox works, and Drive for Desktop is no different.
