As I understand it, apart from cosmetics, the main difference is that you can select any file or folder on the HD for backup, rather than having to direct them to a folder called "Google Drive"

Up to now I have kept auto-sync OFF, only allowing sync to take place when I have changed some files. This would only take a few minutes, then I turned it off again. I did this in case of Ransom-ware getting into the Google Drive. Also to save resources.

"Backup & Sync" seems to be busy all the time. Should I do the same with it?
