Google Drive Desktop app

Since my update to Big Sur (11.6) I haven't been able to use the Google Drive desktop applikation. It is problem with the security settings. I have contacted Google support but they say that is a conflict whit the Mac OS and therefore an issue for Mac support. I get the following message: "You must verify that Google Drive to Computer updates the software necessary to load the files that you saved to Google Drive. To approve, go to System Preferences > Security and Privacy. Click the lock to make changes and enter your administrator ID and password. On the "General" tab, you can see that there is system software that requires action before it can be used. After you approve, restart your computer." The problem is that there is no place to action to take there...

Hope someone can point me in the right direction.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 11.6
