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)
Just go to the "System Preferences" → "Extensions" and uncheck/check "Google Drive File Stream".
Then
Alt + Right Click
on Finder and then relauch it.
When I downloaded it today 11.01.18, I got this version...
I am not talking about Google Drive. My post applies to Google Drive File Stream, which is different from Google Drive.
Reinstalling Google Filestream solves the problem without loosing configuration.
Google Support just confirmed that they are still working on solving the issue. The context menu and status icons disappearing and coming back is not how the software is supposed to work.
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
Google released a new version of Drive File Stream 28.1.23.2108 that supposedly fixes the issue.
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."
Thanks Dieter!
Mojave not compatible with Google Drive File Stream
