it feels like Google has made choices for me about how things look and behave on my computer and has absconded with control my computer. Root should always work, the user should always be able to 100% control over their computer. I cannot change the permissions or the ownership of any of the Google Drive for Desktop volumes. I may be the owner of the mounted volumes, but actually I am not. Here is the output of ls -pal in /Volumes: The mounted volumes do show in /Volumes when using ls and the permissions are drwx- and ownership is mrcook staff.

xattr -d /Volumes/GoogleDrive gives an error: 'xattr: GoogleDrive: No such xattr: '.

chflags hidden /Volumes/GoogleDrive gives an error: 'chflags: GoogleDrive: Input/output error'.

SetFile -a V /GoogleDrive gives an error: 'ERROR: Unexpected Error.

the mounted volumes are invisible to diskutil and the GUI version 'Disk Utility'.

dragging them from the Finder's Sidebar this only works for one account every time and the other three it never works.

I have tried to hide the mounted volumes by: When I could not rename the Google Drive for Desktop mounted volumes, I tried to hide them.

via the command line with mv, this works, but then Google Drive Desktop cannot find the folder.

through the Finder's Get Info pane, but the name field is grayed out.

I have tried to rename the mounted volumes: I would like to rename these too, but cannot. I also these four accounts with irritatingly long name mounted on the Desktop. I have four of these in my Finder's Sidebar, I want to rename these, but cannot. Each volume has an irritatingly long name like: - Google Drive.

Each account is mounted to MacOS (Mojave) as a volume.

I am using version 51 of Google Drive for Desktop.
