If you are running Google Drive File Stream and upgrade to Mojave, the context menu for setting a file/folder as online/offline and the icons for indicating whether a file/folder is online/offline are no longer available. There is currently no ETA from Google for a fix.
MacBook Air, macOS Mojave (10.14)
This is from Google Support: Release 28.1 with the fix continues to roll out. Some clients have been upgraded already. You can force an upgrade by installing

Hope this helps,

I updated my iMac's OS two days ago to Mojave (10.14). I then downloaded and installed Google FIle Stream for the very first time and it never runs. It shows up in the top menu bar but any time I attempt to sign in, it just errors out. Using "killall Finder" in terminal doesn't help. Maybe it does with folks who previously had File Stream already running, but from a fresh install of it, nothing works.
Thoughts (aside from waiting for a Google fix)...?
Thanks!

I appreciate the screenshots. I found the Extensions option in Preferences and placed a check in the Google File Stream/File Extensions box but I don't have RELAUNCH as an option when right clicking the Finder Icon. Attached is all I see...
Yup, that was the fix!
Thank you and I wonder if you can clarify what I'm learning...
I'm a photographer an it seems when I choose to open a file (in Google Drive, stored in the cloud) using Photoshop, the cached file I choose to open in the Google Drive folder (stored online) downloads and opens it in Photoshop. I do my edits, save and/or close it/Photoshop and it updates in the could.
Is this true?
Thank you again for all your help!

I am not talking about Google Drive. My post applies to Google Drive File Stream, which is different from Google Drive.
Hey, I'd be happy to help, I have the same problem and I can not find a solution - you can tell me what was the solution for you?
Tnx
I could not understand the explanation, could you send a screenshot please? :)
Thank you ! This worked for me.
You are a genius. It works perfectly.
it worked!! thanks =) - funcionou como mágica, bagulho é louco, na hora deu certo, esse é o brasil que quero pra mim kk
Also, I forgot to mention, when I hold the Option/Alt key while right clicking on the Finder Icon, "Hide" changes to say "Hide Others."
When I downloaded it today 11.01.18, I got this version...
Thanks Dieter!
I don't know if you are aware of this, but Google Drive as a standalone
app has been deprecated and replaced by "Backup and Sync by Google".
FWIW, I haven't seen any issues with my Google Drive operation within
the new environment.
Mojave not compatible with Google Drive File Stream
