This "new" one is actually not a folder but a Volume (as in, my computer thinks it's an external hard drive). Specifically, the "old" Google Drive folder still exists at Macintosh HD/Users/, and now there's a "new" one also called Google Drive which anchored itself at the top of my folder view in Finder. I followed all the installation instructions and left the options as they were (it seemed like it on both computers it found my locally stored Google Drive folder), and after the installation was done, I was frustrated to see that I had a new Google Drive folder but also the old one, just like you're describing. Yesterday after seeing the prompts to update, I went ahead and updated to the new Google Drive desktop app. I have a desktop and a laptop, and I had it setup so that my entire Google Drive folder was always synced with both computers, and the entire folder was downloaded and stored locally (offline) on both machines.
REMOVE BACKUP AND SYNC FROM MAC UPDATE
I was having this same issue, but after looking into it, I think this behavior is the way it's supposed to be working? TLDR: I'm not 100% sure, but I think that "left behind" folder actually contains the original local files that got synched (so it will continue to update like it used to with Backup and Sync), and you can basically just ignore that new separate drive.įor context, I was a longtime user of Backup and Sync on Mac.
