Still, only one account out of the two is showing up, whereas in the past all accounts (I had 4) showed up.Īnyone else have any ideas about why some of the Google Drive accounts might not be showing up as connected servers (under "localhost") and what could potentially jolt them into connecting? I added a second account to the Google Drive for Desktop (takes up to 4) a couple days ago and it didn't show up on the desktop as a connected server until today. I can also get an "alias" / shortcut icon on the desktop, but that's not what I need, I need Google Drive to show up as a connected server (usually under "localhost") on the desktop. I tried all the suggestions that you listed in the past and after your post, still not showing up as a connected server. The main issue is Google Drive is not showing up as a "connected server" (see Finder's General preferences, "Connected servers" should be checked), not just getting an icon on the desktop. Even with the same macOS version, can't definitively say it's not an Apple issue from the fact that it works for someone and not for others. The Settings tab is also where you can upgrade your storage to another plan.Following up on earlier. Finally, you can configure Google Drive to automatically launch when you log in to your Mac, show file sync status, and display confirmation messages when removing shared items from Google Drive. Settings: Allows you to configure network settings if needed and control bandwidth, which is handy if you're using a slow connection or one that has data rate caps.

You can reconnect by signing back into your Google account. Once disconnected, the files within your Mac's Google Drive folder remain on your Mac but are no longer synced with the online data in Google's cloud. Google Drive: Lets you disconnect the Google Drive folder for your Google account.The default is to have everything in the folder automatically synced, but if you prefer, you can specify only certain folders to be synced. My Mac: Allows you to specify which folders within the Google Drive folder are automatically synced to the cloud.The Google Drive Preferences window opens, displaying a three-tab interface.
