Drive Buddy for Google Drive
Drive Buddy for Google Drive gives you desktop access to your Google Drive files on Mac, with tools for finding and organizing documents across personal and work accounts.
by Christel Leyne
What you get
Find and manage your Google Drive files directly from your Mac.
You get a desktop place to handle your Google Drive files, including documents spread across multiple accounts. You can switch between personal and work accounts in one interface, then copy, move, or rename files without managing them through the Google Drive website.
When you need a document, you can browse recent, starred, and shared files from your menu bar or bring up search with a global keyboard shortcut. Quick Look lets you check a document before opening it, so you can confirm you have the right file. On macOS Sonoma, desktop widgets give you another way to reach your documents.
You can also upload files from your Mac, download files from Drive, and export documents. Drag-and-drop controls and keyboard shortcuts give you ways to handle these routine tasks without relying only on menus.
