Good point. Funny enough, the Google Drive desktop application was killed and replaced with Drive File Stream which broke the offline usefulness of Google Drive.

The file stream app still does the old drive behavior if you enable it.
Luckily, there's open-source tools for Google Drive, such as "grive".
The Drive File Stream app lets you pin files for offline use.
