Better Together

Appearance

Google Drive ​

If you also use Google Workspace:

Google Drive Install ​

bash
brew install --cask google-drive

How It Works ​

Google Drive mounts as a virtual drive in Finder (like a network drive). Files stream on demand: they don't all download.

  • Appears in Finder sidebar
  • Files stay in the cloud by default
  • Right-click → Available offline for specific files

Integration with OneDrive and iCloud ​

Google Drive plays well alongside both:

Finder Sidebar:
├── iCloud Drive          ← Apple ecosystem sync
├── OneDrive - Personal   ← Microsoft personal
├── OneDrive - Company    ← Microsoft work
└── Google Drive          ← Google Workspace

Dropbox ​

If you have legacy Dropbox files:

bash
brew install --cask dropbox

Dropbox syncs to ~/Dropbox/ by default. Same Finder integration as the others.

Migration tip: If you're consolidating, drag files from ~/Dropbox/ into ~/OneDrive/ or iCloud Drive and let them sync, then uninstall Dropbox.
