Google Drive is really the core of the Backup and Sync tool, so if you never used the Drive app then a bit of explanation may be in order. This is where you’ll control which folders from your Drive are synced to and from your PC or Mac, as well as specifying which image folders should get backed up to your Photos library. Those have both now been rolled into Backup and Sync, so you can control all of your files, videos, images, and more from one app. If you’re a heavy Google user, you’re probably already aware of Google’s other sync tools: Google Drive and Google Photos Uploader.
