Google save locations

Hello,

Recently my drive started synchronizing in different folders than usual. 

For example: I am making a new excel file on my macbook. Later on I try to locate this file in the drive folder I saved it in on my iMac but can't find it. I found out the file is now located in the "My Macbook" folder instead of the "My Drive" folder. I want all my files to be in the same location on all devices. On my Macbook the file is still in the correct location. On the webbased version it's located in the "My Macbook" folder. Is there a setting to change this? As I said before I want them to be in the same location on all devices. Couldn't find information on this anywhere.

To change the default sync location for Google Drive File Stream on your Macbook:

  1. Open Google Drive File Stream on your Macbook.
  2. Click the three-dot menu icon and choose "Preferences."
  3. Go to the "Sync Options" tab.
  4. Under "Local Disk Location," select "Choose Folder" and choose the folder you want to use as the default sync location.
  5. Click "OK" to save the changes.

After completing these steps, new files you create or save on your Macbook will sync to your "My Drive" folder in Google Drive. To move the files currently saved in the "My Macbook" folder, use the Google Drive web interface.
