Just for clarity’s sake: I am interested in the answers to these questions on MacOS, specifically in Catalina, if that makes a difference. Where is File Stream storing these offline files? Is there a way to back them up, or to access them when the program is not running? Cannot use my home folder (mac) as the Google Drive for Desktop root. With File Stream, I have no idea where those files are - when the program is not running the "Google Drive" volume unmounts from my system, and the files appear to be completely inaccessible moreover I don't think Time Machine backs them up. With the 'old' Google Drive (now 'Backup & Sync') there was a Google Drive folder at the top of my user directory this folder was always available, whether Backup & Sync was running or not, and Time Machine would back it up for me (if I wanted it to). Once a user downloads Google Drive from the App Store, they can navigate toward the backup wizard by going. Great!īut where are these files stored?

The company also published a new web page on the Android website detailing how it works.
File Stream makes this easy: control-click on the file, and choose "Available Offline". I use Google Drive File Stream for work, and there are certain mission-critical files that I need available for offline access.
