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.


Get Terminal on Recovery mode by



> Restart holding Command + R (on Mojave)

> Get Help Online

> Menu> Utilities

> Disk Utility

> Terminal


write


chflags restricted / Volumes / Macintosh \ HD / private / var / db / KernelExtensionManagement


quit

restart

open Drive for Desktop

allow permission on preferences> privacy

the first time Drive doesn't work quit and restart Drive and wait
