I downloaded the google drive file stream and I tried to make some files available offline, but the the "available offline" button is not even activated, only the available "online only" button is activated. What should I do?

[bobflamingotools]

keep your file online or available offline, it is function which onedrive offering free ...

With backup and sync are you able to do the exact thing you showed here with file stream where you can see every file/folder in your drive through finder, but only sync the ones you need to be "available offline" .. Similar to how Box Drive and Dropbox do?

Hi just wanted to ask if for example i have a photoshop file on my google drive and then ive made some changes to that file, will it be synced even with some very minimal changes?

Hi Pete, just switching over to File Stream from Backup & Sync. Primarily using files in Adobe apps so one question that I can't find an answer to. After working on a file and re-saving back to the same location in File Stream, does the local version of the file automatically get removed after its re-synced to the cloud? Thanks!

Is it possible to work for two people at the same time at the same Project in Photoshop for example. when you are using stream?

What happens if you put a file directly in the virtual google drive disk on your pc? Its gonna be synced? It's synced and saved as offline or synced and deleted from the pc? I just want to figure out wich is the best way to free some memory and upload my files without using a dedicated Chrome tab opened...

Thanks in Advance
Best regards

I would like to do regular backups of the data from our G Drive Team folders to my desktop in case I lose access to my Google account, it gets hacked or something like that. Can I do that with Google Drive File Stream or what would be the best way?

[travellingwithoutdestination]

how do i connect time attendance system to google drive to view another location as well. it is possible from google drive ?

[ryanjmillar]

Google Drive File Stream is great except one small problem - When you use Windows explorer it first downloads the files then shows you the list. If you have lots of time waste then I recommend this software, if not stick to Backup and Sync.

Can i download something from the web and directly store it into the Google drive Filestream without taking my local drive space?

[PrathamInCloud]

Hi... I wanted to know what is the use of Google Drive File Stream and regular Google Drive Desktop? File Stream downloaded all the files from my drive onto the computer. I really don't want that to happen. Also there is no way to choose which files are to be backed up and which files don't have to be backed up. Can you please help?

[kevinmckay]

[phamthinguyet]

Hello I wanna ask you how to uninstall google drive file stream?
I can't uninstall it in control panel 😢

[michalp]

@Google should merge it into a single sync client with file stream features. Why on earth separate it all. It should be one single sync client for domestic and commercial users based on their type of subscription and thus activate ro deactivate features.

The only thing I hate about the Google is that even I selected stream but it still mirrors my files offline on my computer when I upload files from my mobile to Google drive or upload from anywhere
I want only one folder to automatically download in my PC
And the my computer option is great for that
But I can still se the other files of my drive app in my offline hard drive
I don't want any other file of my Google drive app in my hard drive
I only want to see that one folder i selected to sync

I didn't realize they had ELECTRICITY in ANZAC! The last video I saw of New Zealand was some little guy getting into trouble over stealing a ring, then giving it to a family member and leaving the jurisdiction. Said family member then took the stolen item, got in trouble and ended up destroying it in one of those Ring of Fire volcanoes the Pacific is so well known for, said relative also left the jurisdiction, just leaving a note that said 'Going West', it sort of cheesed me off the whole place, such disregard for their Eldars!
