Windows 8/8.1 users can upgrade to Windows 10/11 or access Drive through a browser.
Windows 8/8.1 users need to upgrade if they want to keep using the Google Drive desktop app beyond August this year.
As Android Police reports, Google posted a support warning for Google Drive desktop app users who still run Windows 8/8.1, explaining how support for the software is set to end in August this year.
