Same here. I wish they offered it for personal accounts. I would happily start paying for Drive to use it.

I’m not sure if it’s what you’re looking for, but Backup and Sync is a similar Drive sync utility made by google for personal accounts. The only feature that it doesn’t have is file-level sync settings (afaik B&S only has folder level sync options)

Backup and Sync lacks the coolest feature of File Stream. File Stream allows you to download files when you access them instead of keeping them all on your PC. For someone like me with lots of photos, a smallish SSD, and a fast internet connection it's very convenient.

Saves a huge amount of machine resources, too. Some folders are GB’s big we have to share.

not sure what you mean here because i pay for Drive (via Business G Suite, single user, unlimited storage) and use Filestream just fine.

Yes, you can get it with a G Suite account, but regular @gmail.com users cannot.

Interesting, I use it at work and have nothing but problems with it. What sort of file count do you have on Drive? I suspect ours is beyond the testing scope of DriveFS and as such perfo nance is hideous and often freezes up computers for minutes at a time.
