Setting up the sync

Download and install it onto your Mac, and then connect your Android device. This process can take some time depending on how many files you decide to transfer. Most file managers will support either moving your files directly or copying them to leave the original files intact. Select your music files or the folder containing your files and choose to either copy or move them.

Your music files will be then stored on your device, ready for you to access in a music app of your choice. With 15 GB of free storage, Google Drive offers the easiest method for you to keep your music collection synced across all of your devices, including Android and PC.

Unless you want to download your files one by one, folder by folder, the easiest method is to use CloudBeats.

Using a third-party music app for Android allows you to download your files to your device directly from cloud storage providers, including from Google Drive and Dropbox. In the resulting window Figure D , tap the Remote folder section and navigate to the remote Drive folder you want to use. You might want to create a new folder for this in Google Drive first.

Then tap the Local folder section and navigate to the folder you want to sync. Next, configure the sync method, make sure the sync is enabled, and tap SAVE. And that's it.

You have created a folder pair that will stay in sync between your Android device and your Google Drive account. I have to confess, it would be nice if Google would bake this type of feature directly into Android. Having to make use of a third-party app doesn't detract from how easy this setup is, but it seems like this should be a standard function of the cloud-friendly Android platform.

Regardless, you can now sync any folder on your Android device with any folder on your Drive account.
