Google has announced they are changing the name of Google Drive File Stream (GDFS) to Google Drive for desktop. You will begin to notice the new name across U-M Google as this change continues to roll out. Additionally, the desktop icon has been updated to the new Google Workspace visual branding. (Google Workspace is the new name for G Suite.)
Note: The mount point path remains the same, so you can still find all your files in the same places, but shortcuts to the application have been renamed to “Google Drive.”
