Backup & Sync (formerly known as Google Drive) is software installed on the local PC that synchronizes your files between Drive online and your local hard drive.
When installed, a copy of your Google drive My Drive Folder is kept on your PC. Its important to point out that this is not a static copy. Any changes in a file in Drive online will update in the Google Drive folder on your PC. This works in reverse as well.
Access the Google Drive folder by clicking the cloud icon in the system tray near the time and date. (on systems still running the previous version, you may see this icon
)
Then select the folder icon at the top of the window.
Documents can be opened directly from this window. Once you are finished with any changes to a document, save and close it and it will be copied up to Google Drive online.
You can access Drive online with the same icon in the system tray and then choosing the drive icon at the top of the window.
