Support for the Google "Team Drives"

Feature requests
#128

Thanks for your support :slight_smile:

  1. We don’t announce deadlines publicly or privately outside of the company (for obvious reasons) but it really is coming. We should have a forums release within 2 weeks or so. Check back on the forums for the announcement.
  2. Yes, Team Drive sync support is available under a new unpublished Teams plan which will release as part of Insync 1.4. You only have to pay the difference between Prime and Teams pricing, one-time to get access.

:metal:

I’ve been reading through this and it’s quite confusing with the new plans rolled out all the time.
As a Pro user who did not need to upgrade to Prime (not sure now what that was going to give me as benefits, as yet again communication is very confusing) and with currently 2 out of 3 Google accounts registred, what are my options to get TeamDrive support for at least one of them and how much will it cost me now?

We are releasing a forums version in the coming weeks for early testers.

I like how it’s always “in the coming weeks” but of course - quality is important to ensure.
However I’d love more information about the price plan changes and how it Actually affects those who are on e.g Pro plan and not on Prime.

This is regarding a question I asked a few weeks ago

Very disappointing conversation with google today: (Talking about syncing team drives) “As of today, we do not have yet any update when it will be released.” Full conversation here: https://pastebin.com/bNGLcBZ4

I’m not sure what that support engineer was talking about to be honest - Google Drive File Stream definitely does include the ability to work with your team drives: I think he must have been talking about Team Drives with the “normal” Google Drive Backup and Sync client.

Drive File Stream works by creating a virtual drive (G: by default in Windows) and under there are 2 folders: One for your Drive and one for Team Drives. You can right click on any drive / folder / file and make it available offline which then syncs it to your machine

We’ve been using it since the early access program and once you get used to it it is a far more flexible and powerful way to work with your drive / team drives.

Hopefully Insync will add support for team drives soon as it would be good to get the auto-conversion of documents, etc, but in the meantime I’m quite happy with Drive File Stream!

I can confirm what Phil_A says.

We have been also used Google File Stream since Early Adopters program.

Hoping InSync to support File Stream soon.

This is a huge deal and needs to be done! Can’t wait to hear and see if it is in the next roll out. We desperately need it for our business

+1 for this :slight_smile: But also worried if I, as a Plus member, will get access to it? I’m very confused about the whole procing thing.

Hello all! Insync 1.4 is now available in beta and has Team Drive syncing and more :slight_smile:

#146

@terpua YOU ARE A LIFESAVER! My company acquired a firm today and we wanted their files migrated to Team Drives. We did this with no testing or seeing how to support the mass upload of files. 1.4 beta is doing the trick!

Thanks so much, your product paid for itself in less than 10 minutes.
