Question

"keychain cannot be found to store"

Hi—

After Google Drive File Stream updated to its newest version (45.0.9.0) I've suddenly started seeing a "keychain cannot be found to store" error occasionally while I'm working. Clicking "Cancel" makes it go away, obviously, but doesn't seem like the best solution to whatever problem it's trying to bring to my attention:

Do I really have no other option but to clear all of my Keychain data? Any other suggestions for troubleshooting/solutions?

Thanks in advance!

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.1

If a Mac app you’ve already trusted asks for keychain access

Have a great day!

Update, FWIW: since posting my question, the "Keychain Not Found" error quietly stopped happening. I suspect Google tweaked something in Drive.....

The advice you gave is not relevant. The alert is notifying "Keychain not found". This is happening to me too. It isn't asking for access.

I didn't want to reset my keychain to defaults, but finally I did because I was getting this error over and over. But it made no difference. I have continued to be alerted that a key chain cannot be found to store a Google Drive account, even after restoring defaults. So now I have lost all my keychain information. Please advise.
