You may have uploaded a photo via the Android or iOS mobile app, but it does not appear on your desktop computer. Unfortunately, there are instances when your Google Drive desktop app is not syncing your files between devices. Most importantly, it enables you to access them on any device, anywhere, as long as you log in to the same Google account. Google Drive is also a reliable way to back up your files. For some users, having a cloud drive gives them security knowing that they can still restore and open all their files even when problems arise with their devices. If your local storage is almost full and deleting files is not an option, you can upload and sync them on your Google Drive cloud storage account. Also, if you delete files from your PC that are shared with others, Google warns that they may lose access to those files.There are several reasons why many people are using Google Drive. You cannot selectively sync individual files.
A couple additional things to keep in mind: Selective sync only works for folders. Those are the basics of Google Drive’s selective sync. That will free up space on your local hard drive, while still leaving your folders in Google’s cloud. Once you confirm by clicking Continue Google Drive will automatically delete the nonsyncing folders from your PC. Once you’ve got Drive set up the way you like, click Apply, and a pop-up warning will ask you to confirm your selective sync choices. Now deselect the subfolders that you don’t want. The subfolders will show up on the right. To stop syncing subfolders, click on the parent folder in the left-hand pane. So Documents > April would still be on your PC but folders like Documents > January, Documents > February, etc. If you want to deselect an entire folder just uncheck the box next to it.Īnother option is to stop syncing specific subfolders inside a parent folder. For example, if you have a Documents folder with subfolders for each month, you could choose to only keep the latest month and stop syncing the others.
Now a two-panel window appears listing all the folders in the root of your Google Drive cloud storage.
