More and more applications are making the transition to Windows ARM, updating to provide native support for these devices—Signal is one of the latest examples. This is great news for users considering a switch to Windows ARM, as they can do so without worrying about software compatibility.
Now, thanks to The Verge, we know that Google Drive is officially available for all Windows ARM users. This means you can fully utilize Google’s cloud storage service on these devices without relying on emulation.
Here’s what you need to know about this update and how it enhances the experience for Windows ARM users.
You can download Google Drive for Windows in ARM
This is an important development worth highlighting. While Google Drive for Windows ARM was initially released last year in beta, it had some performance issues—understandable for a test phase. Now, however, the stable version is officially available for all users with Windows ARM devices.
This means that those with Qualcomm-powered computers, for example, can now install the app without concerns about stability. Users will be able to store, sync, and access files seamlessly, just like on traditional Windows devices.
Requirements to Install Google Drive on Windows ARM
- Windows 11
- Microsoft WebView 2 (already included in Windows 11, so no additional installation is needed)
If you were using the beta version, you should update to the latest stable release. Alternatively, you can download and install it from scratch by visiting the official Google Drive website.
A Growing Windows ARM Ecosystem
With the rise of Copilot+ PCs, Windows ARM is becoming less of a niche product for tech enthusiasts and more of a mainstream alternative. As more native applications are launched, these devices will be more versatile, accessible, and affordable, making them a viable option for all types of users.
Google has also released a native Chrome version for Windows ARM, allowing for smooth browsing on these devices. Over time, even more apps will gain official support, bringing us closer to a future where Windows ARM PCs are just as practical as traditional computers.
