Google Drive for desktop is a great solution to save your files. It gives you all the convenience of Google Drive, but from your file explorer. Instead of having to upload from the browser, you simply can save as, drag and drop, and other ways you may be more familiar with. It also provides an easy way to open and save non-Google documents and be able to open in the application straight from your computer's desktop.
