There’s Backup and Sync, the all-encompassing consumer app that replaces both the standalone Google Drive and Google Photos Uploader apps. Google now has two fairly new software tools for backing up your data and/or accessing files in the cloud.
You can still access it from the web, smartphone apps, and either of the software options mentioned below. Google Drive the service isn’t going anywhere. Users who are still running the Drive app will start seeing notifications in October that it’s “going away,” and the company will steer customers towards one of two replacements depending on whether they’re a consumer or business user. Support will be cut off on December 11th and the app will shut down completely on March 12th, 2018. The aging Google Drive app for desktop is officially deprecated as of today, Google announced in a blog post.
