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!
