Dji assistant 2 for mac. Google Drive no longer hijacks file opening duties in Apple's Files and iCloud Drive apps on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. The app was updated today with a fix for the issue. Microsoft Word. Install Drive on your Mac or PC, download the mobile app to your phone or tablet, or visit anytime at drive.google.com.Search everything. Search by keyword and filter by file type, owner and more. Drive can even recognize content in your scanned documents and images. We get you started with 15 GB free. Learn more at drive.google.com. The Google Drive for Mac service is a lot like Dropbox. It creates a folder on your Mac that syncs with your Google storage space so you can access the files from elsewhere. You can think of this.
If you are using Google's online storage solution Google Drive to host or synchronize files across devices using online servers, then you may have noticed that it is not that easy to run those files locally.
While you can do so if you sync them to the device at all times, there is no other option than to download the files first to load them into the program of choice afterwards.
This changes, at least if you are using Google Chrome, with the release of Application Launcher for Drive for the web browser.
It is necessary that you have the most recent version of the Google Drive client software installed on the PC or Mac system as you won't get the new options otherwise.
Once you have installed or updated the software on the device and installed the extension in Chrome, new options become available on Google Drive.
A right-click on a supported file and the selection of Open With highlights installed programs on the device that are compatible with the file type.
It may take a couple of seconds before the new choices appear in the context menu. The selection of the Open With option on a test Windows 7 PC displayed options to load the document in Sumatra PDF or Word.
The same procedure on a docx file listed options to load it in Microsoft Word as well.

It is interesting that this won't work for Google specific formats. If you have converted documents to Google formats then you will notice that you cannot open them using local programs.
It did work fine for image file types as well. Open With displayed options to load the image using installed programs such as Fast Picture Viewer or XnView.
The new feature seems to work for some file extensions but not all of them. No suggestions are made when you perform the operation on a plain text document for example, and all scripting and programming language extensions such as .css did not link to any installed desktop programs as well.
If you compare how Google Drive handles the operation to other file synchronization services such as Dropbox or OneDrive. When you select to download files there, you get the option to download them to the local system or open them directly in a program of choice.

This is not the case on Google Drive where you have to download the file first before you can load it in a different program.
For who is the extension then?
The extension has been designed for users of Google Drive who use the service on systems where the data is not synchronized completely to.
The direct open option may save some time depending on how the computer is used, especially if you don't have direct access to the download folder at all times.
Is it a life changer? Not really, but it could prove useful to heavy users of the system.

Advertisement Solved it! It was a combination of many solutions presented above, but I just had to put them in the right order:
I deleted the Google Drive File Stream app, emptied the trash

I reinstalled the app (still gave an error when trying to log in)
I went to the Finder folder Library --> Application Support --> Google.
I renamed the folder DriveFS to DriveFS.old Screens mac app.
I was now able to log into the app, but it still gave an error accessing the files:
I then went to GO --> Utilities --> Terminal in order to overwrite the Gatekeeper
I entered: sudo spctl --master-disable

Then I entered my password (it’s not visible that you enter something, but the key strokes are noted)
After this I went to system preferences --> Security & Privacy
Under ‘Allow apps downloaded from’ the option ‘Anywhere’ was now visible and automatically enabled
Also, it now showed the text ‘System software from developer “Google, Inc.” was blocked from loading’. --> click 'Allow'
