Backup and Sync and Drive File Stream will be phased out in the coming months, replaced by Drive for desktop.
Google has announced it will be replacing its two file syncing desktop apps with a new unified app, called Drive for desktop, that will be used by all users. The tech giant currently offers two file syncing services: Backup and Sync, which is aimed at consumers, and Drive File Stream, which was built for business users. Google consolidated the apps into one unified app as it wanted to create a client that could «bring people the best and most used features» from the two older apps, Google Drive product management lead Scott Limbird explained in a blog post.
