Before you can synchronize from your Google Workplace at UiO account to your computer you must establish a Google Workplace account at UiO. Read more about how you can do that here.
I am already a Google user with Backup and Sync
Many already have a Google account for private use and may have installed the Backup and Sync service from Google to be able to synchronize files between the cloud service and their computer. This service is still available to you even though you sign up for a Google Workplace at UiO account. If you want to synchonize both accounts you are able to do this without the contents of the two accounts getting mixed.
Synchronizing from Google – Use Drive File Stream
For business and education accounts, Google has Drive Fil Stream which enables you to do the same thing as Backup and Sync, but more suited to your business account. This also includes synchronizing all your Team Drive Folders (shared file directory in Google Workplace).
Downloading
Download Drive File Stream for synchronization here.
NB! Drive File Stream demands administrator rights on your computer. If you do not have administrator rights, contact local IT. Work is currently being done to make Drive File Stream available via Software Center, thus no longer needing administrator rights.
You do not need to uninstall Backup and Sync if you already have it, only if your account id (e-mail address) is the same as the one you have on Google Workplace at UiO.
Stop synchronizing

File Stream Drive on your phone
