Hey everyone.

Since I play on my laptop and desktop I utilize google drive to sync my save between the two. This worked well until the new Google Drive File Stream application came out and I was forced to upgrade. This new directory caused me to have to change my save path on my desktop, and that worked perfectly.

The problem is on my Mac the Drive File Stream folder is not accessible when choosing directory path. Mac OS I suppose treats Google Drive as a "device" like a USB and I cannot select any pathway that leads to it, only my actual hard drive.

I know this is pretty niche problem but was wondering if anyone had any success. Not that I'm going to but has anyone used a USB on Mac before and know if that worked?

Here are two pictures kind of describing my problem: https://imgur.com/a/xio1G
