About This App

Google Drive for Desktop is Google's official file synchronisation and cloud storage client for macOS. It lets you access your Google Drive files directly from the Finder sidebar and keeps selected folders synchronised between your Mac and the cloud. The app supports multiple Google accounts, selective sync (so you don't have to download everything), and integrates with native macOS workflows including search and file sharing. It is widely used by individuals, teams and organisations who rely on Google Workspace or personal Google accounts for document storage and collaboration.

Google Drive for Desktop shipped a native Apple Silicon build starting with version 52.0, released in October 2021 — nearly five years before the macOS 28 deadline in late 2027. If you are still running an Intel-only version under Rosetta, update to the latest build by opening Google Drive, clicking the menu icon in the menu bar, selecting Preferences or Settings, and checking for updates. Alternatively, download the current installer directly from Google's official Google Drive download page and run it; the installer will automatically serve the native build on Apple Silicon Macs. After updating, you will see noticeably better performance, lower CPU usage and longer battery life, especially during large syncs.
