Similar to Google Discover, the Windows 10 'News and Interests' feature will build a profile of a user's interests to display matching news stories and articles. The feature will also include various widgets that display the weather, sports scores, and stock information.

Google Photos in Windows 10. Unfortunately, Google Photos is not a full-fledged Windows 10 app, like its the case with Photos. So, you can't use a single app to both upload and access uploaded photos. In fact, you can only access uploaded photos in a browser, as Google Photos doesn't have its client for Windows (10).

To train the News and Interests machine learning algorithm, users can choose 'More stories like this' or 'Fewer stories like this' to build an interest profile over time.

Microsoft states that they are building in privacy controls that allow you to see your collected data from the Microsoft Privacy Dashboard. As this feature also requires the new Microsoft Edge, you can limit tracking from advertisers and third parties through the browser settings.

'Through news and interests, there is quick access to the Microsoft Privacy Dashboard. Through the Microsoft Edge browser, there are built-in controls to limit tracking from advertisers and third parties. And if news and interests doesn't appeal to you, you can easily turn it off by right-clicking on the taskbar,' Microsoft explained in the release notes of Windows 10 Insider build 21286.

Microsoft will likely show news articles from publishers accepted in Microsoft's Bing News Pub Hub service that currently delivers publishers' stories in Bing News and the Microsoft News apps.

With over 1 billion Windows 10 devices currently being used, this feature could significantly expand news publishers' viewership accepted into the program.

Microsoft is slowly rolling out this feature to Windows Insiders in Great Britain, Australia, and India using the Windows 10 build Build 21286from the Dev channel.

Update 1/6/21: According to Windows enthusiast Albacore, even though Microsoft states Microsoft Edge is require, the 'News and Interests' feature does not actually require the new browser to operate properly.

Backup and Sync app seamlessly replicates the folders on your computer to your Google Drive, and vice versa. The method's problem is that the folders that you sync with the Backup and Sync app stay offline on the device. Meaning, it will consume the storage on your PC or Mac. Drive File Stream aims to tackle the issue.

Drive File Stream does things differently by letting you access your computer's file browser instead of locally downloading your content. In a way, it functions like a NAS, partially if not completely.

Drive Stream used to be limited to only G Suite accounts. Google wants to extend these features to regular Drive accounts as well. Anyone with a Google account can set up and use File Drive Stream on Windows or Mac.

Drive File Stream Features

• Drive File Stream is a convenient way to save space on your computer, especially if you work on many shared folders that you don't need to keep on your computer.
• Drive File Stream allows you to download the content you need locally to work on it when you're offline. This means the content remains accessible but doesn't take up local storage space unless you specifically download and sync the folders and files you need to access offline.
• When you are working with offline files, you can make changes to the file, and Drive File Stream will sync the changes once your computer gets connected to the internet connection.

In theory Drive File Stream looks like a winning solution compared to Backup and Sync but wait, the grass isn't always greener on the other side. Let me warn you with some of the disadvantages of using Drive File Stream.

Limitations of Drive File Stream

• Your entire Google Drive is virtually available to anyone using the PC. Both Backup & Sync and OneDrive offer the users to sync selected folders to the PC. So you can exclude a folder containing sensitive files or information. It's not possible with Drive File Stream.
• You can't sync other PC folders such as Documents or Desktop to Drive File Stream. You have to use the older method of manually uploading stuff to Google Drive.
• There is no Google Photos integration. You will have to rely on Google Photos web to manage/download photos.

Customize Drive File Stream

Google does offer quite a few customization options in Drive File Stream.

By default, the File Drive Stream app is represented by a G letter in the File manager. You can change it to X or some other alphabetical letter from the Settings app.

Tap on the upper arrow in the Windows Taskbar and click on the Drive File Stream icon. Tap on Settings at the upper right corner and go to Preferences.

You will notice the Default drive letter option. Tap on it and change the letter name.

If you are working on a tight data pack, then you might want to pause the Drive syncing in the background. Open the Drive File Stream app and select Settings > Pause syncing to halt the sync process temporarily.

Users can also limit the download rate and bandwidth usage from the Network Settings option in the app preference.

My Brief Experience With Drive File Stream

Being an OneDrive user, I always missed functions equivalent to Files on-demand on Google Drive. Drive File Stream close the crucial gap for me. I can now view the entire Google Drive folder in the File manager and completely avoid the web interface.

After using Drive File Stream and comparing it to Back up and Sync, I don't think I can go back to using the old ways to sync Google Drive on PC. My guess is, after the initial testing with personal Gmail users, Google will combine both the tools and offer something that's right on par with OneDrive and Dropbox.
