Google Drive File Stream Not Working

Hi,


I have a new MacBook Air 2020 with the M1 Chip in and I cannot get Google File Drive System to work with it. I have downloaded the app fine but when I try to sign in it shows this:



However when I go to allow it the Google LLC isn't in the options. I am a teacher and all of my files are saved on here! How do I solve this issue?

Hi eladams3,


Thanks for coming to Apple Support Communities for help today. It appears that Google Drive doesn't work with your new MacBook Air.


We found this: Google Drive for desktop release notes. It appears support for the M1 Mac comes in April 2021. For further information we'd need to direct you to Google.


Have a fantastic day!

Hi there, many of us having the same issue. It appears even with older machines (MacBook Air 2018), this same issue exists. Big Sur has been a real problem for me. If you read the notes provided by google, they don't expect a fix to be immediately available. They are saying APRIL 2021 but I am hoping that's expectation management.
