Google Drive Desktop Support for macOS High Sierra 10.13 will end soon

the last time this happened for me, Google drive stopped allowing me to save from my mid 09 macbook to google drive. I could read fine, but couldn't save files back to Google Drive. now on my mid 12 macbook pro, with mac OS High Sierra 10.13, with this message, i'm going to move to Dropbox.

That sounds like a good question for Google. It's possible there may not be a final date at this time.

If I'm not mistaken, it will still function for up to a year or longer but you won't be able to update the app... At least that's how I remember it going on an older Mac running Sierra (10.12) late last year.

I have this situation too. From this page: https://support.google.com/a/answer/7577057?hl=en

"macOS 10.13 won't be supported after October 2022. To continue using Drive for desktop, upgrade to a supported OS before October 31, 2022."

This will kill support on a lot of still working, still incredibly useful Macs (All iMacs before 2013) that were cut off from Mojave over Metal support.

You want to believe that Google is doing this because it will make Google Desktop a better, less crash crone piece of software, but we all know dropping support for 10.13 means nothing. It's not like they are dropping Mojave or Catalina support. Dropping Mojave would be significant as they could use universal code with Catalina, but that's not happening (not yet).
