Google has also created a new alert in Drive to warn users when they move or delete shared files. Once a folder has been deselected, it will be removed from the hard drive but remain stored in Drive. There's now one option to, 'Sync everything from My Drive' and another to 'Sync only these folders'.Įach folder displays the amount of storage it uses, so the individual knows how much is being freed up or consumed when deselecting or selecting a folder for syncing. To select which folders are available for syncing, click the Google Drive icon and open Preferences and then go to Sync Options.
This change makes sense given it would be impossible for the vast majority of computers to sync everything from Google's 30TB Drive plan.

Until now, syncing on Google Drive meant duplicating everything in the cloud on your computer, taxing precious local storage. Google has rolled out a new syncing feature in Google Drive that can help free up space on a computer. You can now select which folders you want to sync to a computer with Google Drive.
