If Google Drive is still not syncing on your Mac, you can try logging out and then logging back into the app on your machine. This should give it a fresh start to sync your content. Click on the app icon in the menu bar, click on three-dots, and choose Preferences. Google accounts get 15GB of storage free, shared across Google Drive, Gmail, and Google Photos. For additional storage, you can upgrade to a premium subscription plan as an in-app purchase. Subscriptions start at $1.99/month for 100 GB in the US, and can vary by region.
To quit (close) a Mac app normally, choose Quit from the app's menu in the menu bar, or press Command (⌘)-Q. If the app doesn't quit, follow these steps to force the app to quit.
How to force an app to quit
Press these three keys together: Option, Command, and Esc (Escape). Or choose Force Quit from the Apple menu in the upper-left corner of your screen. (This is similar to pressing Control-Alt-Delete on a PC.)
Then select the app in the Force Quit window and click Force Quit.
You can even force the Finder to quit, if it stops responding: Select Finder in the Force Quit window, then click Relaunch.

I then went to GO --> Utilities --> Terminal in order to overwrite the Gatekeeper
I entered: sudo spctl --master-disable
Then I entered my password (it’s not visible that you enter something, but the key strokes are noted)
After this I went to system preferences --> Security & Privacy
Under ‘Allow apps downloaded from’ the option ‘Anywhere’ was now visible and automatically enabled Macos webpage as app. https://gzfhpwk.weebly.com/blog/cannot-open-unity-app-on-my-mac.
Also, it now showed the text ‘System software from developer “Google, Inc.” was blocked from loading’. --> click 'Allow'
Then when reopening the app, it would start downloading all my files.
