I've recently installed this new "version" of Google Drive, but there is no way to syncronise files on the resident folder with the cloud. The google support says it happens because the "security & privacy" system of the mac does not allow G Drive to syncronise. I have modified the "firewall", allowing the app Google Drive to access the mac. But still it does not work.
Any advice? Thanks.

Hmm, what do you mean by Firewall?
Do you mean Sys Prefs>Security & Privacy>Privacy Pane>Full Disk Access then unlocking the lock & adding or OKing Google Desktop?
Oh, pardon me, what I mentioned doesn't exist in High Sierra, only Mojave & up!
What is the exact wording of the error it reports?
By "firewall", I mean the screenshots below.
I cannot find the pathway you indicate: "privacy pane" -> "Full disk access".
Perhaps that would be the right one... But where is it?
Thanks, C.

I subscribe to some space with google and so I could access phone support with a smarmy technician. In all, testing various things, it came down an old kernel from Backup and Sync that would not allow the new Google Drive to get permssion to run.
Here's the terminal command I've run on 2 machines successfully. After that. Google Drive prompts Security to ask for permission to run and it works as intended.
-Enter recovery mode
-Launch the terminal in recovery mode
-Run:
chflags restricted "/Volumes/Macintosh HD/private/var/db/KernelExtensionManagement"
Google Drive for desktop
