The new app can also integrate with Outlook calendar and Google Meet scheduling, and it supports real-time co-editing for Microsoft Office files. For example, the new Google Drive for desktop app supports dark mode, while Backup and Sync doesn't. Some features will be added, while others will be removed or tweaked. Once you make the transition, you'll notice some feature changes. This doesn't affect the files themselves, naturally, you'll just need to switch apps to see them. You won't be able to login anymore, and you'll only be able to sync your files with the new Drive app for desktop. You'll have to switch to the new Drive app during September, though, because on October 1, the Backup and Sync app will no longer work.
