In past versions of Drive for Desktop, users had to manually log in and out of each account they wanted to access. The most notable improvement may be multi-account support. Google plans to merge these apps into a unified Drive for Desktop by the end of the year, and to kick things off, it’s rolling out a major update that greatly improves the desktop app’s usability and speed. There’s the consumer-level Backup and Sync, and of course, the enterprise-grade Drive for Desktop (formerly Drive File Stream).
For whatever reason, Google Drive has two different desktop apps.
