To remove duplicate files from Google Drive on Mac, it is important to follow a structured and safe approach rather than deleting files manually through the browser. Over time, duplicate documents, images, shared files, and older versions of the same file can accumulate in different folders. Manually identifying them can be confusing and time-consuming.

A more efficient method is to use a dedicated tool like SysInfo Google Drive Duplicate Finder on your Mac system. After installing the software, you securely sign in with your Google account using OAuth authentication. Then, you can select “My Drive,” shared folders, or specific directories to scan. The tool analyzes your data in read-only mode and displays duplicates in organized categories such as same-folder duplicates, large files, hidden files, and more.

Once the scan is complete, carefully review the duplicate files shown in the preview panel. You can select multiple duplicates at once and either move them to Trash for safety or permanently delete them. After emptying the trash, the duplicates are fully removed, and your Google Drive storage becomes optimized and clutter-free.
