Google Drive File Stream folders are missing
I received the following procedure from Google Cloud Support and it seems to have fixed the problem for me.
- Go to Drive File Stream icon on the menu bar > gear icon > Pause Syncing
- Then, Drive File Stream > gear icon > Preferences > Disconnect Account
- Next, Drive File Stream > gear icon > Quit
- Fine the cache folder: Finder > Go menu > Go to Folder > paste
~/Library/Application Support/Google/DriveFS
- Delete the folder
DriveFS
- Drag the app
Drive File Stream
to the trash - Restart the Mac
- Reinstall Drive File Stream
- Go to Drive File Stream > gear icon > About, and verify that Version: 41.0.2.0
This worked for me but seems very elaborate. Hopefully they will come up with a better way in the future.
I just discovered after a lot of try and error that if my folders ends with a space character (ex: "COMPTA ") then it did not show up on my mac.
This is a strange bug as it was working on my old mac but it's now easy to reproduce on my mbpro M1.
