google drive desktop app shortcut now working

I am totally missing what the issue is, and the solutions posted seem way to complicated.ġ) make sure you are using the correct version, certain kexts were deprecated and google has provided updates including for Apple siliconĢ) if you want google drive to launch at startup, set that option in google drive.ģ) if you want the google drive folder on dock, right click google drive on finder Sidebar, and select add to dock.Ĥ) if you want the google drive app on dock, open google drive preferences, right click the google drive icon on dock, select options keep on dockĥ) alternate: create alias from google drive in Applications folder, drag to dock, or, drag to desktop, when you click it will ask for permission to access desktop, and will then openĦ) you can also create an alias of your google drive folder (google got me confused on this one, sometimes it is google drive, sometimes it is My Drive which is a folder in google drive, so not sure what they did, but it still works) and move that to desktop, and you can put folders on the Dock as wellħ) set up a shortcut to run google drive, add to dock which also places the shortcut as an application in user/applications. Still, only one account out of the two is showing up, whereas in the past all accounts (I had 4) showed up.Īnyone else have any ideas about why some of the Google Drive accounts might not be showing up as connected servers (under 'localhost') and what could potentially jolt them into connecting? I added a second account to the Google Drive for Desktop (takes up to 4) a couple days ago and it didn't show up on the desktop as a connected server until today. I can also get an 'alias' / shortcut icon on the desktop, but that's not what I need, I need Google Drive to show up as a connected server (usually under 'localhost') on the desktop.

I tried all the suggestions that you listed in the past and after your post, still not showing up as a connected server. The main issue is Google Drive is not showing up as a 'connected server' (see Finder's General preferences, 'Connected servers' should be checked), not just getting an icon on the desktop. Even with the same macOS version, can't definitively say it's not an Apple issue from the fact that it works for someone and not for others.
