STEP 2: Add an Open Folder to your My Drive Folder Directory My students can follow the link to Our Google Drive Folder on the sidebar of our Class HUB. You can look in your Incoming folder, search for it by a work in the folder name, or follow the link provided to you. To add a shared folder to your My Drive directory, you first need to find it. How to View your My Drive Folder Directory The My Drive folder directory is what appears if you click the little drop down arrow to the left of My Drive, as shown below. This deletes the app from your system.If someone has shared a Google Drive folder with you, and you plan to access the folder often and/or add your own files to it, you should add the folder to your My Drive folder directory for easy access. Inside Applications, find the Google Drive app and drag it to the Trash on your Dock, or right-click it and choose Move to Trash. If you don't see it on the left sidebar, it's also available under Go > Applications on the menu bar, or by using the shortcut Shift + Cmd + A. Open Finder and navigate to the Applications folder. The process to remove Google Drive from your Mac is just like uninstalling any other macOS app. Then you should be able to uninstall it without issue. In the dialog box that shows, click Quit to stop Google Drive from running.

To do this, click its icon in your System Tray as described above, then click the Settings cog in the resulting menu. In case you get an error that Google Drive is still performing operations, you should quit Google Drive before uninstalling it. Your Google Drive folder will stick around, but it's cut off from your account. Once this is done, you'll need to reinstall the app if you want to start syncing files to this computer again.
