To verify that Backup and Sync is doing anything at all. Nevertheless, we have found file useful in a couple of scenarios:
The purpose of the file is to help Google’s engineers diagnose defects - not to give the rest of us a friendly view of file synchronization. You can find the file in your AppData folder:Ĭ:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Google\Drive\user_default\sync_log.logīe warned: the content is very technical! Dig into the local synchronization log fileīackup and Sync tracks its activities in a text file. Those documents have not been uploaded to the cloud. There are many factors which may affect your speed, but the process quietly runs in the background (mostly) and has a small tray icon which shows status when clicked.Īccessibility Apple Appointments apps breakout rooms Calendar Canvas Channels classroom collaboration Drive dropbox Faculty Flipped Classroom Google Google Calendar Google Drive Internet Kaltura Lab launcher lynda.Watch out for new (or updated) files on your PC’s hard drive that are don’t show up in the activity stream. a little slow: as with any backup, it can take time to complete. This may not be a big deal for most of us saving camera snapshots, but I would not recommend this setting for art/nature/science photography or videography which depends on keeping the files in their original state. With video, it will compress any resolutions higher than 1080p down to 1080p. For example, the application will compress photos larger than 16 megapixels. The bad news is it will change the quality of the original photo or video to use a more “bandwidth-friendly” compression. The good news is that the “high-quality” images don’t count against your data cap. High quality is a little bit of a misnomer and has positive and negative aspects. When you select photos, you will be presented with two choices: Original or High quality. I would recommend against backing up your whole computer and focus only on a few folders so it is entirely clear what is being saved into the cloud. To begin, you will need to sign into your Google account and select which folders you’d like to backup to Google Drive. Where to get it: The Google Drive homepage. Allows you to access files from your computer with your cell phone. Why you want it: Backup and Sync can provide a secondary backup for your WFU laptop, or provide a cloud backup for Android-type phone and home-office computer.
What it is: Google Backup and Sync is a tool from Google which replaces both the Google Drive and Photos desktop applications. This tech tip comes from Jeff Muday of the Instructional Technology Group.
