Google must be constantly monitoring your folders, because changes to files show up immediately. Click on a computer and then you'll see your hierarchy of folders that you choose to back up. You'll see any computers on which you have Backup and Sync running listed in this folder. The folders you selected for Backup and Sync will show up in a new Computers folder on Google Drive. It's set up to ask you if you also want to delete it everywhere, meaning from Drive, too, but you can also set it to delete files from Drive without asking first or to keep files there when you delete them from your computer.
