So Google Drive for desktop at the moment remains one of the few services of the company that is not optimized for the new Apple hardware platform.

Even Google Drive for regular (non-corporate) users received native support for the Apple M1 on January 13th. Google updated its other application, the Chrome browser, back in November, almost immediately after the release of computers to Apple Silicon. True, about the rest of the chips, for example, Microsoft SQ1, on which the Surface Pro X works, nothing was reported. Fortunately, the update, which will implement native support for the Apple M1, will be released in April 2021.

That is, this also applies to devices on Windows, such as Microsoft Surface Pro X. An accompanying document in the support section states that Google Drive for desktop does not currently support ARM computers and tablets. Google Drive for desktop allows you not only to sync files and make backups (this functionality is included in the standard Google Drive), but also to connect different computers to a single cloud storage with the ability to exchange files between them. At the same time, the service will continue to be included in the Workspace, which is intended for corporate users. January 22nd edition of 9to5Google reportedthat Drive File Stream will soon be renamed to Google Drive for desktop.
