While computer users are cheering up of upgrading freely from Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 as well as upgrading their Google Drive local app, they are upset to find that their new Google Drive not syncing on the new Windows 10. Google Drive and its file uploading/backing up/syncing tool installed on local the device (desktop, laptop, phone, notebook, etc.) have served Google users very well until Win 10 released. We strongly encourage administrators to educate their end users to use Drive File Stream, and not the old Google Drive folder.Situations of Google Drive Not Syncing Windows 10

Note that for users who use Drive File Stream in another language, this folder name will be localized. If you don’t want your users to see this dialog, you may remove the old Google Drive folder before May 12th.Īfter May 12th, if you choose to automate the removal of “~/Google Drive/”, you should remove “~/Google Drive (Not Syncing)/” as well.

After May 12th, Drive File Stream will display a dialog and rename the old Google Drive folder to clarify that the old folder is not syncing. This message will be shown to end users still using the legacy sync client after it is shut down.Ĥ. In addition, after the legacy desktop client shuts down for you, the app will display this dialog when it starts up: Use caution when deleting this folder, as it may contain content that has not yet been saved or synced. Windows: “C:\Users\%USER%\Google Drive”.To avoid confusion, you may want to delete the legacy Google Drive folder. We don’t recommend editing files inside of this folder after May 12th, as it could lead to users misplacing their edited files (not realizing that this folder isn’t syncing to Drive).
The local Drive folder (containing users’ files) will not be deleted from the machine, but changes made inside this folder will no longer sync to Drive. When the legacy Google Drive desktop sync client shuts down, it will stop syncing the Google Drive folder to Google Drive. Once the client shuts down for you, the Google Drive folder will stop syncing.
After May 12th, however, updates to files may stop syncing between your users’ computers and Drive, so we recommend upgrading by that date.ģ. We will start the shutdown process on May 12th, but it will be gradual and may take several weeks to impact all organizations. For more information on choosing the right sync solution for your users, check out this Help Center guide. For non-G Suite users, we recommend Backup and Sync. G Suite organizations still using Drive for Mac/PC should transition to Drive File Stream. This shutdown is happening because we have better sync solutions available for Drive users.
