After you install the Backup and Sync app from Google on your Windows or Mac, a folder will be created and used to sync with files and folders from your Google Drive.

You want to change the location of this Google Drive folder, right? In this article, I will show you how to do so, on both Windows and Mac.

1. Mac

By default, the Google Drive folder is located in Users/[your username]/Google Drive. Here’s how to move it to a different volume on Mac, or any location you want.

Method 1:

1- Click the Backup & Sync icon on the menu bar. Click the three-dot icon, then choose Preferences.

2- Select “Settings” from the left sidebar, then click “Disconnect Account”. Synced files will still remain on your computer.

3- Sign in again by clicking the icon in the menu bar. If it disappears, you can run it by typing “Backup & Sync from Google” in Spotlight Search. Now you can configure everything from scratch, including choosing the folder location.

4- Google Drive will sync your files and folders to the new folder. You can delete the old Google Drive folders to avoid duplication.

Method 2:

1- Click the Backup & Sync icon on the menubar. Then click the Three-dot icon, select “Quit Backup & Sync”.

2- Remove the Google Drive folder, or simply rename it.

3- Open Backup and Sync from Google. An error message saying that it can’t find the folder will pop up.

4- Now you’re able to change the Google Drive folder to another location.

2. Windows
