Google Drive for Windows now supports ARM-based devices such as laptops running Snapdragon chips. This feature appears in the new beta version of the app.

Here's What We Know

This was announced via the Google Drive community. Previously, ARM-based devices could not use Google Drive for Windows due to the complexity of file integration. Now, with the release of this beta, ARM device users will be able to use all Google Drive features except for the Outlook Meet plugin.

Google warns that this is a beta and may contain bugs, so it is recommended that you only use it with non-critical data and be sure to make backups.

ARM support was announced back in September, and Google recently extended Quick Share for Windows to ARM devices as well. This news is an important step for ARM device users who can now make full use of Google Drive on their devices.
