Can I move the Google Drive folder to a different volume?

Is there a way to put the Google Drive folder on a different volume on my Mac (where I have more free space)? I tried Googling the question, and just got tips about doing it on Windows.

Solution 1:

I figured it out.

1. Quit Google Drive and remove the Google Drive folder.
2. Restart Google Drive.
3. Error message saying that it can't find the folder will pop up.
4. Click the error message text to open a dialog in which one can specify a new folder.
5. Specify your new folder location.

Solution 2:

Method 1:

1. Enter Preferences: menu bar -> Google Drive icon -> 3-dot icon
2. Choose Disconnect account in the Account tab. After you disconnect, your files will remain on your computer.
3. Sign in again by clicking the icon in the menu bar.
4. Step through until the last screen where you can setup up which folder to use.
5. Google Drive will download all/selected files to your computer.
6. You can delete your old files if you want.

Method 2:

1. Quit Google Drive from the menu bar icon.
2. Move the folder to your preferred new location, rename it if you want.
3. Restart Google Drive.
4. It will warn you that the folder is missing, select the new folder and Google drive will sync to that folder.
