Digital Maestro 13 Cloud Fundamentals Cloud Sync Google Drive App Each of these cloud services has a component for syncing files from your computer. These sync applications are very good when using applications that don’t have a cloud service, and you want to use the cloud to keep backups of your work and at the same time have access to your media on any computer. A major benefit to using these syncing services is that it keeps all your work backed up at all times and it syncs folders too. If you recall, this is the limitation we encountered when uploading files to our drive account through a web browser. For example, Google, Microsoft and iCloud use applications in the cloud to create and edit documents. Applications like Adobe don’t have applicaitons that run in the cloud but you can use cloud services to save and backup your work created with any Adobe application. We’ll install and setup cloud sync services for Google Drive, One Drive and iCloud Drive. You can use one or more of these services to sync your documents. This means that you can have Google Drive, One Drive and iCloud Drive all syning separate sets of files or the same set of files on your computer. The Google Drive app is a free download. The purpose of the app is to create a synchronized folder on your computer. An immediate benefit of using Google Drive to synchronize documents is that it also synchronizes folders. When we reviewed the process for uploading files to Google Drive using the browser, we found that it wasn’t possible to upload folders. The app is available for a variety of computers and devices. It’s also available for mobile devices that run Android or iOS 7.0 and above(at the time of this article). Let’s install the Google Drive app onto your computer. I’ll be using the Chrome browser for this lesson. I recommend using the Chrome browser because it is the most compatible with Google apps and services. Log into your account and go to your Drive using the Google Apps launcher. When you are in Google Drive, on the right side of the page you’ll find a settings button that looks like a gear or a cog. Click on this and you will see the option to download Drive. Click on the download drive option. You’ll be taken to a page where you will see a button to download Drive. Move your mouse over this button.
