Google Drive provides an easy way to access all the files in the "My Drive" sections of Google Drive as well any Teams/Shared Folders you may have access to. As an added bonus, even though you can see all your files, Google Drive File Stream doesn't actually download all those files to your computer. It intelligently manages the files and downloads them on-demand so long as you're connected to the internet. You get the benefits of seeing all your files without filing up your hard drive. 


To use File Stream, we'll first need to log into your Google drive.


Use Launchpad, Spotlight or go directly to your Applications folder to launch Google Drive.

Once launched, log into Google Drive if you're not already.



Once logged in, head over to the sidebar of your Finder to view your personal "My Drive" files and Google Shared Drives you have access to.



Bonus tip: if your business is on the anything above Google Workspace Starter, we also recommend using Google Drive as a backup to your computer. Here's how: https://bioniccat.freshdesk.com/a/solutions/articles/3000114706
