Google recently announced that Google Drive for Mac/PC, the application installed on your computer (that appears as a computer folder called Google Drive), is going away in March of 2018, and a replacement client application, called Backup and Sync from Google, will be available for use.

For current DoIT Google Drive for Mac/PC users on DoIT-managed machines, DoIT will automatically roll out the upgraded application, Backup and Sync from Google. Once Backup and Sync from Google is ready for SBU, current Google Drive for Mac/PC users will receive communication providing a date when the automatic installation will occur and instructions on logging in and setting up the new program, Backup and Sync from Google.
