Google Drive Permissions Issue

I don't know if this is a Google issue, but I can no longer save files from applications (e.g., Keynote) to my Google Drive after updating to the most recent beta. I end up with a permissions error. It says the file is locked. It is happening on both my iMac and my MacBook Pro, both of which are running the most recent beta update. I am using Google Drive File Stream (v. 33.0.16.0), which integrates with Finder.

Google Drive File Stream is not optimized for Catalina. Have gone myself thru file loss, multiple crashes and constant system overload thru most of the betas. I'd recommend getting off it until they have an official build for 10.5

I am having the same issue, running Google Drive File Stream 33.0.16.0.


I took a Keynote document out of my Google Drive and put it on my desktop and in my local documents folder, and I get the same issue.


I tried resetting permissions using the steps in this Apple Support document and the problem persists: https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT203538
