Google Drive asks to upgrade its desktop client

Unproofread notes

My Google Drive desktop client doesn't automatically open when my computer start, I only start it when I have something to sync and I am not overly dependent on it and also have other means of backup already set up.

So when I started the Google Drive client today on my macOS device, it started showing a notification to "upgrade" my desktop client as it will be deprecated in ~19 days, as you can see in the screenshot here. I tried updating it from the Settings, but there were no updates available.

So I downloaded the new "upgraded" desktop client and re-installed it, and then the notice was gone. Good thing, I didn't have to re-login to my two Google accounts that were connected to Google Drive. After installing, I tried looking through the settings and other options in the client, but couldn't find anything new or modified - everything looks exactly the same as how it looked on the old client.

Tried looking it up on Google, but couldn't find anything about it either.
