Google is planning to plant this feature in Drive for desktop as well. Backup and Sync has the feature where it offers Google photos upload. 9to5 google recently reported on 4th Feb, 2021 that Drive for desktop will be replacing Backup and Sync in 2021. This was renamed so as to place the first step towards unifying these two applications. Google renamed the ‘Drive File Stream’ to ‘Drive for desktop’ last month.

For those who wish to have all their content backup up to cloud and to easily have access over their files in Drive and images in Google Photos, Google had ‘Backup and Sync’ developed (for personal use), and for teams (business use) Google developed ‘Drive File Stream’ so that all the files can have access from the Drive directly to any Mac or PC, without using any disk space. Google released two new applications to replace the Google Drive app in order to separate content for personal use and business use.
