Google Drive on 2021 MacBook Pro?????? Please Help!

[IKUK123]

I've just taken delivery of a 2021 16" MacBook Pro & I'm trying to set it up.

I've been an iPhone & iPad user for years, but my Laptop (used for Work) has always been Windows PC, so I've made the leap.

I use GMAIL & Google Drive. All my Work Files are on Google Drive.

I can access the Google Drive via Browser, but I can't seem to download the Google Drive App so I can Sync on my MacBook.



Can somebody please help. I need to do this ASAP.



Thanks!!!

Sorry if I'm being obtuse/obvious. You've gone to this page and it won't let you click on download drive for desktop?

Not obtuse at all samcraig, I'm grateful for the help!

Well I don't know what happened earlier, because I was going round in circles. Followed articles & videos on the matter, but the Appstore was showing me it was only available for iPhone & iPad???


I seem to be all up & running now. What seems to have changed (from Google side I think) is no more Back-up & Sync. I actually don't mind that, as long as I can access my documents & re-save to Drive, I'm happy.


Thanks!

I am not an expert but Backup/Sync should still be there - check out this comparison article, it seems to imply things have changed a little in how Google offers their services on Apple products

iCloud Drive is much improved in recent years, but there are plenty of other options. Which is best? We round up the best cloud storage options for users of Macs and other Apple devices

Thanks donawalt.

No mater how many times I follow every instruction I can find, I just don't get the option to choose Backup/Sync!

It just isn't there..... It's doing my head in.
