Note: In July 2017, Google released the Backup and Sync application as a replacement to the desktop applications Google Drive for Mac/PC and Google Photos desktop uploader. However, the Backup and Sync application is not available for use with the Stanford G Suite applications. Later in 2017, Google plans to release an enterprise-focused solution, Drive File Stream, which will be available to Stanford G Suite users upon release.
