Om Driveparacomputers
Drive för datorer är Googles skrivbordssynkroniseringsklient som låter dig enkelt hantera och dela innehåll på alla dina enheter och i molnet. Denna app låter dig komma åt dina filer och mappar på en känd plats.
Du kan använda Drive för datorer för att hålla dina filer synkroniserade mellan molnet och din dator. Synkronisering är processen att ladda ner filer från molnet och ladda upp filer från din dators hårddisk. När de har synkroniserats matchar filerna på din dator dem i molnet. Om du redigerar, tar bort eller flyttar en fil på en plats, sker samma ändring på den andra platsen. På så sätt är dina filer alltid uppdaterade och kan nås från vilken enhet som helst.
I Drive för datorer kan du hantera hur mycket lokalt lagringsutrymme som ska användas och platsen för ditt innehåll med alternativen att spegla eller spegla dina filer och mappar.
Vad innebär det att duplicera eller överföra filerna
Replikering och uppspelning är två sätt att synkronisera dina filer. I båda fallen kommer ändringar du gör i filer på en enhet att återspeglas på alla platser.
Med replikering lagras filer i molnet och på din dator, vilket tar upp utrymme på din hårddisk. Du kan komma åt dina filer när som helst, även när du är offline eller när Drive-appen för datorer inte körs. Du kan komma åt filerna via en mapp på din dator.
Med uppspelning lagras filerna i molnet. Hårddiskutrymme används bara när du öppnar filer eller gör dem tillgängliga offline. Du kan bara komma åt filer som inte är tillgängliga offline när du har en Internetanslutning. Alla filer, inklusive de som är tillgängliga offline, kommer endast att vara tillgängliga när appen körs. Du kan komma åt filerna via en aktiverad enhet på din dator.
Viktig:Senaste versioner av macOS kan ha något annorlunda uppspelningsbeteende.Läs mer om uppspelningsbeteende med macOS.
Även om du kan välja att spegla eller spela upp filerna på Min enhet, kan andra mappar på din enhet bara speglas. Dessutom kan filer på delade enheter, andra datorer och säkerhetskopierade USB-enheter endast spelas.
Alternativ för att synkronisera Min enhet
Du kan streama eller spegla Min enhet, beroende på dina preferenser.
Hur man konfigurerar Min enhet för uppspelning eller replikering
- Öppna Drive för datorer.
- Klicka på Inställningar
preferenser. - Klicka på till vänsterDrive mappar.
- Välj under "My Drive Sync Options".spela upp fileroreplikera filer.
Hur man byter från spegling till streamingVäxla från spegling till streaming
När du byter från MyDrive-filreplikering till MyDrive-filuppspelning ändras platsen för filerna på din dator. Mappen som du tidigare replikerade dina My Drive-filer till kommer att finnas kvar på din dator, men den synkroniseras inte längre. För att förhindra dataförlust, se till att data har synkroniserats färdigt innan du rensar dessa mappar.
På Windows måste du avsluta Drivefor PC innan du kan ta bort mappen från din PC.
Ändra från reproduktion till replikering
När du byter från streaming till spegling kommer Min enhet inte längre att visas på din Google Drive-uppspelningsplats (delade enheter, andra datorer och säkerhetskopierade USB-enheter visas fortfarande).
Filer från Min enhet kommer att laddas ner till den mapp du väljer när du ställer in det här alternativet. Om det redan finns filer i den valda mappen kommer appen att försöka att inte replikera filer som matchar de som redan finns i molnet. Filer som inte finns i molnet kommer att laddas upp.
Alternativ för andra mappar på din dator
Hur du ställer in andra mappar på din dator
- Öppna Drive för datorer.
- Klicka på Inställningar preferenser.
- Klicka på till vänsterMappar på din dator.
- Från den här menyn kan du lägga till mappar för att synkronisera med Drive och säkerhetskopiera till Foton, samt redigera inställningar för mappar som redan är synkroniserade.
Synkronisera med Google Drive och skapa en säkerhetskopia i Google Foto
Du kan synkronisera en mapp med GoogleDrive eller skapa en säkerhetskopia i Google Foto.
- Om du synkroniserar med GoogleDrive:Allt innehåll i mappen kommer att laddas upp. Alla ändringar synkroniseras mellan din dator och GoogleDrive. Du kan komma åt alla dina filer från vilken enhet som helst på drive.google.com eller via GoogleDrive-appen.
- Om du skapar en säkerhetskopia i Google Foto:Endast foton och videor kommer att laddas upp. Ändringar synkroniseras inte mellan din dator och Google Foto. Du kan se dina foton och videor från vilken enhet som helst på photos.google.com eller via Google Foto-appen.
Viktig:
- Om du vill lagra foton och videor kan du bara skapa en säkerhetskopia i Google Foto. Om du lagrar dina filer i Google Drive och Google Photos kommer de att laddas upp två gånger, vilket kommer att ta upp mer lagringsutrymme på ditt Google-konto.
- Network Attached Storage (NAS) stöder endast säkerhetskopiering till Google Foto.
