location of google drive

How can I move the location of my google drive folder to an external jetdrive? I'm on Monterey 12.6.1 and under the google drive preferences it states that Folder Location is controlled by macOS.

Set folder location Google Drive Hi, I've just installed the Google Drive app on my new Mac with OS Ventura, but can't choose the folder location of it anymore like I could before on Catalina. If I want to do that, Google Drive says 'Folder location is controlled by macOS.' Can I still choose the folder location via macOS settings somewhere? I have my Google Drive folder on a secondary drive and it's pretty essential to my workflow. Thanks in advance!

How to delete Google Drive folder without losing sync feature on MacBook? I have synced some folders on my Mac with (online) Google drive, but I see there is folder named Google Drive is on my Mac which I suppose is using the memory of Mac, I mean that it is not an online drive, right? If it is using storage of my Mac, I would like to delete this folder but I want to continue with syncing, like before, some some of my folders on my Mac. Please help me in this. Here's the image where you can see that Google Drive folder. Thanks

Where are locally stored iCloud Drive files kept? In the Finder, with the View option set to show the file path, all the files 'held' in the iCloud Drive are shown with their file paths emanating/rooted from the 'iCloud Drive' (ie they do not emanate/root from 'Macintosh HD') But, sometimes, some of those iCloud Drive files are also/still held locally somewhere on Macintosh HD. But there appears to be no way to get the Finder to display the 'Macintosh HD' file path for those files held on the iCloud Drive which are also held locally. One can disconnect from the internet and see if an iCloud Drive file is still available locally. But, if it is, how can the user show/discover where it is stored? Or, does MacOS Catalina onwards not have the ability to reveal where the local storage is for files held in the iCloud Drive?
