Google has rolled out a new update for Google Drive’s Windows and Mac client with differential syncing. That means fast uploads, especially for large files.
The Windows and Mac clients of Google Drive now support a much-needed feature: differential synchronization. Thanks to that synchronization, synchronizing especially large files is a lot faster, reads Google Workspace Updates.
‘In-demand function’
With differential syncing, the app syncs only the changed parts of a file, rather than the entire file. When users work with large files, the sync time is sharply reduced, according to Google. Last month, Google added a feature to Drive that lets you watch videos immediately the moment you upload them.
According to Google, the update in Google Drive is now available Rapid and Scheduled Release domains, as well as for all Google Workspace Individual subscribers and people with personal Google accounts. Microsoft also introduced differential synchronization in OneDrive a while ago.
