A Super Simple Desktop Client for Mac OSX Built in Javascript and MacGap
Google has officially turned on Drive File Stream for all users, the company announced in a Wednesday blog post, which also marked the eventual death of Drive for Mac and Drive for PC clients. Google Drive for Mac is the most advanced cloud storage and file management application. Download Google Drive for Mac Free. Google Drive for MacBook Pro is developed by the Google, which enables you to sync and upload files from your Mac.
I love the Google suite but hate being limited to having to use their apps within my browser. If you have many tabs, it's impractical for usability.
It's one line of code to wrap Google Drive in an app window made possible by MacGap
Build using instructions on MacGap-rb
Note: I'd recommend against using the binary releases at this point. There have been issues with people downloading them and using them on different versions of OSX from what I've compiled them on and it causing problems.
That is, me compiling on whatever version of OSX I'm running can cause problems for you if you aren't running on the same version. As I'm not sure what the future holds in terms of me or users of the app being up to date on the latest OSX, I'm just going to stop making releases for the foreseeable future and avoid issues.

Google has officially turned on Drive File Stream for all users, the company announced in a Wednesday blog post, which also marked the eventual death of Drive for Mac and Drive for PC clients.
'With this launch, Google Drive for Mac/PC is officially deprecated,' the post said. 'It will no longer be supported starting on December 11th, 2017, and it will shut down completely on March 12th, 2018.'
Admins will begin to see settings for Drive File Stream under Apps > G Suite > Drive and Docs > Data Access as well. However, the settings will not go into effect until September 26—the day that Drive File Stream becomes generally available.

Google debuted the Drive File Stream on March 9, 2017. The service allows users to stream Drive files directly to their computer, to be accessed from the desktop without being stored locally.So, in lieu of using Drive for Mac/PC, Google is encouraging users to utilize Drive File Stream instead, the post said. However, users can also work with Backup and Sync instead, which the Google post described as the 'new version of Drive for Mac/PC.'
Team Drive Sync
If a user is already running both Drive File Stream and Backup and Sync on their computer, Google will prompt them to cancel the sync between their Drive and Backup and Sync. The news also has some impact on Team Drives as well.
'Team Drive editors won't be able to edit their Team Drive files when they're opened in Drive File Stream; they'll only be able to view them,' the post said. 'To edit these files, they'll need to open them in Drive on the web.'
If you want to wait it out, Google will remind you of the end of life dates sometime in October, the post said.
