Google Drive has recently introduced a highly anticipated feature: differential downloads. This update significantly enhances synchronization speed, especially for large files.
In response to established competition in this area, Google Drive is finally catching up by integrating differential synchronization. This new feature, rolled out through a recent update, modernizes the service's approach to managing large files.
The good news for Google Drive users is that instead of downloading the entire file with each modification, Google Drive will only synchronize the modified parts. This targeted approach saves time during transfers and conserves bandwidth on limited networks. The feature is available to all Google Drive users, whether on Workspace or personal accounts, on both Windows and macOS.
