Google Drive problems on Yosemite?
Google Drive does not work on my 2012 MacBook Air after installing Yosemite but it works on my 2010 Mac Mini. Anyone else with that problem?

Very similar problem here. Google Drive works on my 2009 MacBook Pro, but not on my mid-2011 iMac. On the iMac the menubar icon is grayed out and says "Not signed in" - but it doesn't give me any way *to* sign in.

Exactly the same James. I have managed to uninstall it for now. I would think it odd it works on one device and not another...
Installed Yosemite on a 2012 Mac Mini. When I try to access Google Docs -- the syetm reports "Browser Error" on Safari, Chrome, and Firefox. The doc is greyed out and refreshing does not work. The only option is logging out. Installed Google Docs on my drive -- still has the same problem. I suppose I will have to borrow another device until this is fixed.
Further to this issue -- it looks like Yosemite does not want to work when you open a spreadsheet with multiple worksheets or when you try to create a new spreadsheet. This is the error message:
A browser error has occurred.
Please hold the Shift key and click the Refresh button to try again.
And this does not fix the problem.....
Same issue here: None of the Drive Spreadsheets function after upgrading to yosemite on my IMAC. My other docs in drive seem to work, only the spreadsheets, as I use these ALL DAY everyday will not be upgraded my MacBook's etc. until this is resolved....HUGE issue, it seems this could have been discovered during Beta....
Same issue here on my mid-2010 MBP. Spent almost an hour on the phone with Google yesterday. They're aware of the problem, and have a fix, which is basically to uninstall all Google Drive components, and re-install, thereby forcing a sign-in. Unfortunately, the fix didn't work -- I'm back to the original grayed-out icon and not-logged-in message. Strangely however, my Google Drive folder, which I'd deleted during the troubleshooting process, re-appeared after the install, so I can only assume that the sync is functional, but the GUI is not working correctly. In fact, I'm pretty sure that's the case - I just uploaded a file to my Google Drive via the browser interface and it almost immediately showed up in my drive folder locally. So, I'd say that the issue is cosmetic, though obviously needs a fix.
Confirmed, I'm seeing the same behavior when accessing a Google Sheet now that I've upgraded to Yosemite. Problem occurs in Safaris and Chrome. Can not edit existing sheets. ⚠😕
Did google say they'd have a "real" fix at some point? Am having the same problem
I am able to edit in chrome but not Safari.
Quick update: opening the local files in my Google Drive folder seems to work ok.
Haven't tested this out thoroughly yet, just thought I'd mention.
Same problem here. Is that a problem with Google Drive, Webkit or Yosemite?
I have a very similar problem with Google Drive on my Mid-2011 Mac Mini. Google Drive is grayed out in my menu bar and it does not respond at all when I click on it. It also did not seem to be syncing with the server. However, I may have found a partial solution to this. I simply redownloaded the most recent version of Google Drive from their servers and used it to replace the app that was already on my HD. The message that I got when I dragged it to the Applications folder indicated that it was the same version as the one that was already there. However, upon running this replaced app, my Google Drive folder updated automatically, the way it should. However, the Google Drive icon on my menu bar is still grayed out and is still unresponsive.
BTW, because the Menu Bar icon is unresponsive, it was necessary to quit Google Drive by going there Activity Monitor. (That is found in the Utilities folder which in turn is in the Applications folder. I include that just in case someone comes along who may not know where to find that app.)
The icon is grayed on my late 2013 iMac, but everything still updates as before. When I add a file it appears in my Google Drive folder on my iMac and on my iPhone and it appears in the online Drive. The only thing is the icon is grayed and you can't do anything from the icon. When I click on Google Drive in the applications folder, it just brings me to my Google Drive folder on my hard drive. Weird stuff, but so far, in my case, everything is working except the icon in the Menu Bar.
Am happy to report that I now can access and edit my Google docs using the Yosemite operating system (and the old routine of using the menu on Gmail). The problem (for me) seems to be fixed. Many thanks to whoever (at Apple or Google or both) who did the work. Bear with me while I repeat that I have a very straightforward Apple system (late 2012 Mac Mini, Mavericks ==> Yosemite, and a Brother printer) and always update my software promptly (thinking that it helps with the issues created for the community by militarized hackers and other black hats). The only "exotic" system component is an external CD/DVD drive which seems to be working well. Hope everyone else is seeing good results too and I benefitted greatly from reading all of your comments.
