With the whole of your Drive files at your fingertips, your organization’s capacity for collaboration and storage efficiency is only getting bigger.

Google Drive has always been known for its user-friendly interface, but many simply prefer to work on their own desktop. No need to go through the hassle of going to the Drive web app anymore, it’s all right there on your computer! Now everything in your Drive is available directly on your desktop, without a single byte of your disk space being taken up. Google wants to give you easier access to your files, and with File Stream they have.
