Google Drive is available for PCs running Windows 7 or later, and Macs running OS X Lion or later.[8] Google indicated in April 2012 that work on Linux software was underway,[9] but there was no news on this as of November 2013.[10] In April 2012, Google's then-Senior Vice President Sundar Pichai said that Google Drive would be tightly integrated with Chrome OS version 20. In October 2016, Google announced that, in the future, it would drop support for versions of the computer software older than one year. In June 2017, Google announced that a new app called Backup and Sync would replace the existing separate Google Drive and Google Photos desktop apps, creating one unified app on desktop platforms. Initially intended for release on June 28, its release was delayed until July 12. In September 2017, Google announced that it would discontinue the Google Drive desktop app in March 2018 and end support in December 2017. ##### Post Metadata - Net upvotes: 1
