To disconnect your Google account, select the Google Drive icon in the menu bar. Click the gear icon on the top right and pick “Preferences.”

Select the gear icon on the next screen and choose “Disconnect Account” at the top.

Confirm by clicking “Disconnect” in the pop-up window.

If you receive a subsequent prompt asking you to sign in to Google Drive, simply close the window.

After you disconnect from Google Drive, you can uninstall the application like other apps on Mac. Using Finder, select Go > Applications in the menu bar.

Then, move Google Drive to the trash in one of these ways:

• Drag the Google Drive application icon to your Trash in the Dock.
• Right-click or hold Control and click the Google Drive application. Select “Move to Trash” in the shortcut menu.

.

If you like, you can empty the trash or right-click the Google Drive application in the Trash folder to remove it completely. You can still use Google Drive on the web or your mobile device as before, downloading the files you need instead of syncing them. You may also consider using an alternative free cloud storage solution.
