Version of google drive no longer supported

Hi all,


recently, when booting up my MacBook, I get a pop up screen telling me that "this version of google drive is no longer supported. Please install the latest version" - (see attached).


Then when I try to install the latest version I get another pop up that tells me " this operation can not be completed because the item 'google drive' is in use" - (see attached).


Has anyone else had this issue? What can I do????


thanks


adam

Personally, Google Drive is garbage on OS X Mavericks. Users are still complaining about issues with Google Drive even on the latest version of OS X Mavericks.

Until Google can get Its Drive app to function well and properly on Mavericks, I would completely uninstall Google Drive per the instructions on Google's website and keep it off of your Mac for the near future.

What were you using before Google Drive came along?

I do not use any Google software, myself.

I am reporting the issues found in both Google's own troubleshooting forums as well as issues reported here in these forums and one or two other Mac magazine troubleshooting forums I am, also, active in.

Both Google Chrome AND Drive are not running completely stable on Mavericks.

You can continue to continue to run this software, as is, at the risk of your Mac slowing down or causing other performance issues or bugs OR choose to uninstall it for awhile until Google really issues a seriously major update for Mavericks that gets the software running bug free and stable.

Google is going to have to cure the various bugs in Drive in Chrome soon as OS X Yosemite is coming soon in the fall.


I can offer no other options for you.
