Google+ Photos and videos are now available in Google Drive.
Google is integrating Google+ Photos into Google Drive, introducing a new 'Google Photos' menu item. Users can optionally add a Google Photos folder to their 'My Drive' to manage photos and videos alongside other files, with controls available in Drive settings and the Sync Client to manage folder visibility and desktop syncing. The feature will respect Google+ settings, meaning domains with Google+ disabled will not see the menu item.
