Some users of my organization started to have issues on Google Drive Desktop after they upgraded the MacOS to Monterrey:

  • when moving files between folders, instead of moving them Drive actually copies them
  • full scale previews are not possible anymore (see attached screenshot)

Did anybody have the same issues? Any possible fixes?

Does Quicklook work if you set the file or its folder to "Available offline"?

BTW, I was reading another thread about File Provider(MacOS feature) support being added to Drive for Desktop. It sounds like this will change the way Google Drive is accessed by the OS which will change the default dragging behavior from 'copy' back to 'move'. I'm running v58 but do not see it yet. Check out this post..
MacOS File Provider Support 
and these two relevant articles where the feature is discussed, the second link specifically calls out the move vs copy change in the drop down detail.
Update for Mac Users 
Use File Provider with Drive for Desktop
