Google Drive for Mac If you already use the Google Drive app to back up certain things on your computer, you should already start seeing messages to download Backup and Sync. If not, you can.
Access Google Drive with a free Google account (for personal use) or G Suite account (for business use).
If you’re a G Suite customer, you’ll be getting a new tool called. Backup and Sync will let you backup and sync photos and files from Mac folders, USB drives, and SD cards.
This is different from Google Drive as that needed a separate app for files and photos. And instead of having a single Drive folder, you can back up any folder you want. It probably won’t affect you much, and it will make your backup solution even more streamlined.
No longer in Apple's Files and iCloud Drive apps on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. The app was updated today with a fix for the issue. Microsoft Word documents and other file types can now be viewed directly in in Apple's Files and iCloud Drive apps on iOS 11 and iOS 10 respectively. Since a previous update to Google Drive earlier this month, the app became the default opener for many file types due to an open-in-place issue. When users with the Google Drive app installed attempted to open a DOCX file in Files or iCloud Drive, for example, the Google Drive app would automatically open and prompt the user to save the file in that app.
Google Drive version 4.2017.37510 is available on the App Store. Still getting this on my end. I’m not sure what the issue is now. I ran the Google Drive update, even rebooted, and text files (.txt) are still attempting to upload into Google Drive rather than previewing directly in Files. PDFs, on the other hand, work as they should (and did prior to the update).

I tried deleting Google Drive, and text files in Files previewed as they should, but after I reinstalled it, Google Drive went right back to its hijacking ways. I don't particularly like using Google Drive, but there are certain things I need it for, so I can't just delete it indefinitely. On the other hand, although I really like the Files app, it has not yet become a major part of my workflow, so I will just avoid it until the problem gets resolved.
