Drive File Stream is now Google Drive for desktop
This is simply a name change; all functionality will remain the same and most admins and end-users won’t need to take any action to continue using the client. The branding in the product has also been updated to Google Workspace, the new name for G Suite.
- The mount point path remains the same, so you can still find all your files in the same places, but shortcuts to the application have been renamed to Google Drive.
- On macOS, the application name has been changed to Google Drive. No application name changes on Windows.
