Drive notifications are not showing anymore

Previously, when I am in Finder (macOS) and go to Google drive and copy a file, a prompt will appear that states "Link copied to the clipboard" and there is a check box labeled "Don't show this again" right above the OK button. The end user accidentally clicked the check box and now I am trying to figure out a way to get it back on the Google Drive Desktop App for MacOS. Does anyone know how I can get this feature back?

I have tried to uninstall Google Drive and also removed the following:
/library/application support/google/drivefs
/library/containers/com.google.drivefs.finderhelper.findersync
/library/containers/com.google.drivefs.fpext
/library/group containers/group.com.google.drivefs
/library/preferences/com.google.drivefs.plist
/library/preferences/com.google.drivefs.settings.plist
/library/preferences/com.google.Keystone.Agent.plist

After reinstalling Google Drive Desktop App, the notification still does not appear anymore.

Have you checked the settings for the Google Drive app in the macOS System Preferences? For example, on my computer (macOS Monterey), it looks like:

I have tried that but unfortunately, it does not seem to go through the MacOS system notification settings. 

The prompt used to look like this:

Have you tried deleting or editing the ~/Library/Preferences/com.google.drivefs.settings.plist file (i.e., the com.google.drivefs.settings.plist file within the user's own home directory)? Looking in that file, I see:

<key>DoNotShowNotifications</key>
<string>{"entry":[{"notification_type":112},{"notification_type":124},{"notification_type":159},{"notification_type":170},{"notification_type":190},{"notification_type":201},{"notification_type":127},{"notification_type":174},{"notification_type":234}]}</string>

which seems promising....

I had previously deleted that file before reinstalling Google Drive Desktop App. This is what my file currently has:


bplist00โ€œ_PerAccountPreferences_DoNotShowNotifications_ยจ{"per_account_preferences"_รง{"entry":[{"notification_type":170},{"notification_type":201},{"notification_type":190},{"notification_type":174},{"notification_type":127}]}
