Hi,
is there any way to keep Google Drive up and working on 10.14.6?
Today it quit working saying it needs an update, but the newest version wont install on 10.14.6?
Any ideas, besides updating the MacOS?
Best regards
Jos

What minimum macOS does Google recommend? 🤔

It doesn't say... I have an old installer Version 67... And the newest one comes without version number. I only can find Minimum requirements for IPhone Ipad etc..

Looks like Catalina is the oldest supported.

You might be able to find a third-party solution. Expandrive still supports Mojave but it's not free…and it's Mojave-supportin' days are probably numbered. There may be something free out there.

I have to search... I don't want to.

I've used iCloud Drive for years. Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite and later have it built in. Just drag and drop the files into the folders you create. (Folders like Documents and Downloads folders are built-in by default).

You can also use iCloud Drive for Web

Hi, thank you for the idea... but how big is it?
With google i got 15GB for free. A little more than 10GB of which I use...
iCloud might be a little too small ?! (I think it is only 5 GB) and then they start with subscription plans.
But it would be very comfortable...

A really big run-around the problem would be trying Catalina in Virtualbox and set up sharing so the guest OS has access to the relevant folders and then running Google drive on the guest. Not a very smooth solution but if you've got RAM to spare..

I have 2TB iCloud storage for $10/month. Worth it in my opinion.

The end of support for Mojave compelled me to fully migrate to iCloud. At least I don't need an extra app.

if you really want / need to stick to Google Drive on Mojave, you can use a third party solution such as InSync, but you have to pay.
