How do I install and use Google Drive (formerly File Stream)?

Modified on: Fri, Mar 5, 2021 at 11:51 AM

Google Drive is an application that allows you to access all of your Google Drive files on demand, directly from your computer without having to synchronize your entire drive or shared drive (saving storage space on your device). With Google Drive, you can access files in your both own Drive and Shared Drives. With Google Drive, your files are stored on the cloud instead of your computer and any changes you make are automatically synchronized with the cloud for quick easy access from any device that supports Google Drive (including mobile phones, tablets, other computers, or the web).

If you have a university-provided computer, Google Drive should already be installed. If it's not installed or to install for your personal Mac or PC, follow the instructions below.

Download and Install

To download, choose your respective platform:

Google File Stream Dl

On your computer, open:

GoogleDrive.exe on Windows
GoogleDrive.dmg on Mac

Follow the on-screen instructions. Login using your EWU NetID/SSO username and password (use your_username@ewu.edu for both faculty/staff and students). Select Allow on the permissions prompt.

Using Google Drive

Once Google Drive is installed, a folder called Google Drive will appear on the left in Finder or File Explorer. You will also find the Drive Menu in a different place, depending on what computer you use. On Windows, look for the icon at the bottom right of your screen. On macOS, look at the top right of your screen. Your computer's Google Drive folder will contain both your personal Google Drive and any Shared Drives you can access. The only difference between these files and any other file on your computer is that these files are not stored on your computer by default and any changes you make to them will automatically sync with your cloud storage.

You can install Google Drive on multiple computers and as long as they are all online, they will synchronize your files automatically between every computer.
