Issue opening files from Google Drive Finder window after installing macOS Ventura 13.3 update

I just downloaded and installed the macOS Ventura 13.3 update on my Mac Pro and after doing so, I can no longer open files that are stored in my Google Drive. Google Drive is downloaded to my Mac where I can open the folders/files from the Finder Window but when I click to open a PDF or Word doc (where the file is showing in the Finder window but is stored on Google Drive), the app itself opens (Adobe or Word) but not the document/file I clicked on to open. Before installing the update earlier this morning, I was able to open files with no issues. I tested it out and copied the files from the Google Drive finder window onto the desktop and then when trying to double-click to open those files, they opened with no issues...so I'm assuming it has something to do with Google Drive??

Mac Pro (2019)

Just to let you know that I'm having the exact same issue.

It's pain in the butt since it makes installing Google Drive Desktop pointless. Plus it doesn't affect all my files or folders, some of them still open like before.

Haven't changed a thing on the Drive or on my Mac (macbook air m1) apart from 13.3 last night.

I guess it would be best to report that to Google but I haven't found where or how to file a bug report.
