Google Drive not mirroring with Ventura Update on Mac Book Pro

After being a chat with Google and another call with Apple Care. I was able to figure out why my files were not mirroring with my Mac Book Pro. In my finder on my Mac Book Pro on the sidebar, I had “My Drive” When deleted and reinstalled Good Drive per Google and Apple Care instructions another new folder called MY Drive (linda........@gmail.com) was created.  I did notice the new My Drive folder because my sidebar was very thin and (linda@…….) did not show up.  I did see two My Dive folders.  I did delete MY Drive from my favorites but I did not delete my old subfolders from my favorites on the Finder sidebar. Once I cleaned up my favorites and moved the new folders from the new My Drive (linda........@gmail.com)to the sidebar everything started working. Bottom line you have to delete all “Favorite Sub Folders” associated with the old My Drive Folder. Once that is done you can move sub-folders folders over to the new the MY Drive (name@gmail.com).
