Google Drive is one of the most popular cloud storage services in the market and it is about to die. Google is advising users to move to the Backup and Sync app if they don’t want to lose all of their data. Users have only three months to act on this advice as the Drive service will end on March 2018, along with all support.
This announcement is a follow-up to the July proclamation that Google would be replacing Drive with Backup and Sync, CNET reports. The company provided details via G Suite announcement, where it noted that support for Drive will essentially stop on December 11th and be terminated completely come March 2018.
“With this launch, Google Drive for Mac/PC is officially deprecated. It will no longer be supported starting on December 11th, 2017, and it will shut down completely on March 12th, 2018. We encourage you to use Drive File Stream. As an alternative to or in addition to installing Drive File Stream, you can upgrade to the new version of Drive for Mac/PC, called Backup and Sync,” the update reads.
Now, it’s worth noting that the service with Backup and Sync is essentially going to be the same with Drive. The only thing that Google will change is which app is going to be the anchor of that service, PC World reports.
This means that users are still getting the same amount of storage space and they will still get the same features. Although, it would seem that the Backup and Sync version seems to be able to suck in more data from the user’s computer than Drive could.
For the most part, it would seem that the business customers using G Suite are the ones who will need to act on these changes fast. Regular users can ride it out until December if they want to.
