[Siva]

Google announced that this new Backup and Sync client would replace the existing Google Drive sync program on Windows and Mac. All your Drive settings will be merged over to Backup and Sync, so you don't have to worry about your synced folders getting reset.

The new client is also integrated with the Google Photos desktop uploader. Google says the new Backup and Sync app will be available for download June 28.
