Google Backup And Sync, the new client for Windows desktop PCs and mac OS that manages the synchronization of documents with the Google Drive and Google Photo cloud services, has been updated to version 3.38.7642.3857. There are not many new features at the functional level: only one, namely the possibility to exclude certain file extensions from automatic synchronization. On the other hand, some important errors have been corrected on both Mac OS and Windows.
Or so it seems. There is no official detailed changelog, so you have to rely on what the threads of complaints about the Google Product Forums report. On the Mac, many users reported that the app often sent the CPU to 100 percent for some time, with derivative performance drops, abnormal battery consumption and increase in body temperature. On Windows, the messages remain slightly more general, but still serious - general slowdowns of the entire system until the tool is deactivated.
In both cases, Google's moderators suggested installing the update in question, stating that the situation should improve. In any case, if you have encountered these problems, proceed with the installation; you can wait for this to happen in the background thanks to the powers of the Internet, or provide yourself with manual installation.
