The new app is effectively an upgrade and renaming of ‘Drive File Stream’, a separate backup app for business users. But Google says the new ‘Drive for desktop’ app will include this option for Google Photos users, along with some other new treats including a Dark mode. The two cloud storage solutions no longer handle photos jointly – since September 2019, images uploaded to Drive have no longer been automatically backed up to Google Photos (and vice versa).ĭespite this, the current ‘Backup and Sync’ app confusingly doesn’t let you backup photos and videos directly to Google Photos, only via Drive. While the change might be a slight pain in the short-term, it should help streamline a system that’s pretty confusing for users of both Google Photos and Google Drive. In other words, this is a mandatory change if you want to continue automatically backing up your desktop photos (and other files) to Google’s cloud services. In the “coming weeks”, Google says that ‘Backup and Sync’ users “will see an in-product notification notifying them they’ll need to transition to continue syncing their files”. The current ‘Backup and Sync’ app arrived back in 2017, but in a new blog post Google has said that “in the coming weeks, Backup and Sync users will begin to see prompts asking them to transition to Drive for desktop, which we recommend doing by September 2021.” But Google is now moving away from the app in favor of a new ‘Drive for desktop’ app, which will act as a unified client for both consumers and business users.

Right now, anyone looking to automatically backup photos from their computer uses Google’s ‘Backup and Sync’ desktop app, which is available for both Windows and Mac. Google has announced that it’s rolling out a new way for Google Photos fans to back up their photos from desktop computers – and it’ll become the only way to automatically sync desktop snaps to the cloud service from October 1.
