Yes but I had serious issues on windows 7 with it crashing. Now the weird thing is that it looks like they have also abandoned xp completely, which was the only reason I was still it as other machines run dropbox and it seems a whole lot slicker than the google drive offering.
 The amd chipped old xp machines now have no into virus or google drive as the new version will not install due to code issues and the processor.
 
I'm not having a moan, but just wonder how many old xp users will now continue to use their machines with broken security and hacked  cloud storage.

I use google back up and sync. It's very accessible and works well. I also ise iDrive as well for my more important stuff.

Well at  the moment it has just stopped synchronising so I guess that answers part of the question, nice of them to give me about half an hours warning. Thanks google.

I see that Google drive are nagging me to update to the back up and restore new version. I disabled updates  some time ago to keep the old format as nvda would not work very well with the newer versions coming out and also they were crashing machines all over the place
Is it now safe to update as the cryptic message its putting up every so often is that its no longer supported, which could just mean its not ever going to get security updates or that they intend to stop users with the old software from accessing the system any more. I have no idea which, but a few days after Google also nagging me to not use email clients to access their accounts they do seem to be getting a bit too aggressive  toward their users in my view.

Is there any other easy to use cloud storage that can run on old xp machines,which is the only real reason for using google drive at all since dropbox stopped its software running, mainly due to the fact that they started to use a newer code compiler that made code that fell over on xp.
