What happens if windows does windows thing and drive gets corrupted, then can the files be recovered from google drive?

Can the sync location be changed to a shared drive?

What do you do when you change password on the account ?

This method is very useful especially seeing that Google backup and sync is no longer available effective October 1, 2021.

I also have...really cruddy internet...so all my stuff STAYS on my computer, right? I am not handing over MY files to be locked out by Google if I don't make my payment? This seems to be how Apple does it....I hate that.

may i ask, im switching laptop from one to another, making sure everything is in gdrive before i reset the old laptop. I have a few folders in the laptop synced with Gdrive. However, do i have to move the content inside the synced folders on gdrive from under MY LATOP to MY DRIVE cuz once the old laptop was reset, the synced folders on gdrive will disappear together too ?

This is very helpful. Thank you! Can you please suggest a way to do the same Auto-backup of Gallery Albums from an Android phone to a cloud storage platform (any platform you suggest)?

Hi that helped a lot thanks... My laptop is randomly crashing 😥One Question: If i save a word document, and I add information regularly over a few weeks to the same document, will that automatically save to google drive? or can I set a timer on google drive to auto save every 5 mins?.... Please help anyone 👍🏼

I have been using this method for years and everything has been working great. Recently I just got a little paranoid. What if I by mistake delete a file on the computer and the change is synced with Google drive? Google drive will then delete the file and I will become a very sad man... Should I have a second hard drive to do a third hard drive for extra safety or do you have any other suggestions?

[marianwhitcomb]

Do all my devices need to be the same size? What if I just want to access files from my phone (and I have 2T of stuff)? Will the 2T try to synch the phone?

Thanks, a question - is there a way to back up the entire PC to Google Drive or just Folder by folder ?

[emilymathews]

I got no installation wizard when I clicked Download Drive for Desktop

[joenardbuenaflor]

Can you work directly on this backed up folder? Im gonna use it mainly to work on files switching between my mac and windows

[alba]

this only works as a mirror, if you delete a file in your computer it also gets deleted in drive. Is there a way to change this?
