Drive for Desktop on Mojave issues, resolved

After a month of trying I managed to run Google Drive for Desktop on Mojave which did not want to work, I had tried to create a new Google user, a new Mac user reinstall Drive for Desktop many times but the problem was that I had saved the authorization in the preferences> security for which the system did not give permission to create a volume to the application, to fix this problem you have to go to Terminal in recovery mode and reset the security preferences. I did this and finally after a month Drive started.
