Great!īut where are these files stored? 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). 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.
