-====== Restore Your Files with the Backup and Sync Application ======
-To restore your files from another computer, set up the Backup and Sync application. Once set up, sign into Google Drive on the web and copy the files from the old PC to the new PC.

-  - In the left pane, click **Computers**.
-  - You will see a listing of computers you've backed up. You need to figure out which is your current PC and which is your old PC.
-    - Usually, you want //My PC// and //My PC (1)//, or //My PC (1)// and //My PC (2)//.
-    - You can also single-click a PC and click the ⓘ icon to see the dates and times files were last uploaded.
-  - Expand the //Computers// pane on the left side of the window by hitting the triangle next to it.
-  - For each of your folders on your old PC (Desktop, Documents, Pictures, etc.):
-    - Go into the folder.
-    - Use the triangle icons to expand the corresponding folder on your new PC.
-    - Select all of the items in the folder by hitting CTRL + A. Wait for all of them to be highlighted.
-    - Hold the CTRL key, then click and drag the files into the folder for the new PC in the left pane.
