The way my job has google drive configured to work with employees at home is using google drives "shared drives". I use google drive only because it's required for work. (2) issue is common after pdfs are loaded into Preview from either Finder or Path Finder ( to make a distinction that the hanging issue isn't just an issue while files are opened from path finder), eg The issue with path finder locking up will occur as long as PF is open and presently browsed to a google drive volume folder that is being manipulated outside of PF. I'll also add : (1) that the hanging issue seems to become progressively worse and usually requires a restart of finder, path finder, and/or google drive.Others maintain, as I do, that this "fix" doesn't hold for very long, the issues return in short order. some folks participating in google support threads indicated a complete uninstall of google drive and all its hidden components from one's system and reinstalling it resolved all the issues.As it has been indicated in other google support threads, using finder's connect to server operation to connect to smb://localhost:51000 while experiencing a hang, sometimes temporarily "fixes" the issue.

It is not uncommon to see the o/s popup with a "server disconnected" window indicating google drive isn't connected.Note - finder hangs, preview hangs, path finder hangs.
