Software to backup Google Drive contents?

[Mark M]

I have no experience of Google Drive (I use DropBox) at present but a friend uses it for their business docs and wants to back them up and have previous versions saved etc.

Does Google Drive work the same way that DropBox does in that there is a local folder on your computer that syncs with the remote server? If so then I assume you can use the preferred backup software of your choice and just point it at the local folder and not the actual cloud based Google Drive.

There are only 3 people who have access to it so not talking about lots of changing files etc.

Thanks

you can use the Google Drive client to have local copies.
