Google Drive for your Mac/PC is like any other folder on your computer. You can:
Drag files in and out of the folder
Rename files
Move files and folders around
Edit and save
Move to trash
The difference with Google Drive for your Mac/PC is that any changes you make locally in the Google Drive folder are mirrored in My Drive on the web. That means anything you share, move, modify, or put in the trash will be reflected in My Drive the next time your computer syncs. https://support.google.com/drive/answer/2375083?hl=en&ref_topic=2375186
