Google Drive Desktop App Shortcut Now Working: Troubleshooting Issues with Connected Servers

Are you experiencing issues with your Google Drive accounts not showing up as connected servers on your desktop? You're not alone. Many users have reported this problem, and it's frustrating to say the least. In this article, we'll explore possible reasons why some of your Google Drive accounts might not be showing up as connected servers and provide potential solutions to get them working.

One user recently reached out to us with a similar issue. They had four Google Drive accounts connected to their desktop app, but after adding a new account, only one account showed up under the 'localhost' tab in the Finder's General preferences. After trying various troubleshooting steps, they were still unable to get all their accounts to show up as connected servers.

The main problem is that Google Drive is not showing up as a connected server, which can be checked by navigating to the Finder's General preferences and looking for it under the 'Connected servers' tab. This issue seems to be specific to the Google Drive desktop app, as users with the same macOS version have reported success.

So, what could be causing this problem? There are a few possible explanations:

1. Account authentication issues: It's possible that there's an issue with your account authentication settings. Try resetting your account password or re-authenticating your accounts to see if that resolves the issue.

2. App configuration problems: The Google Drive desktop app might not be configured correctly, which could prevent some accounts from showing up as connected servers. Try restarting the app or reinstalling it to see if that solves the problem.

3. Server connection issues: There could be an issue with your server connections. Make sure that your Google Drive account is set up to connect to the correct server and that there are no firewall restrictions blocking the connection.

To get your connected servers working again, try the following troubleshooting steps:

1. Restart the Google Drive app: Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve connectivity issues.

2. Check account authentication settings: Ensure that your accounts are properly authenticated and configured.

3. Reset account password: If you're using a shared account, try resetting the password to see if that resolves the issue.

4. Reinstall the Google Drive desktop app: If all else fails, try reinstalling the app to start from scratch.

By following these troubleshooting steps, you should be able to get your connected servers working again and enjoy seamless access to your Google Drive accounts.
