How to recover missing Google Drive folder on chromebook files app

In the chromebook file application, which is the file manager that Chrome OS comes with, I was trying to move a file from the downloads folder to the Google drive folder ... but I found that mysteriously the drive folder it had disappeared, it was no longer there. It happened on Chrome os 87.


In the end I found a solution! 

Steps:
1. Go to settings: we can do it from the clock or by opening the application.



2. Search for "drive" and select "Disconnect Google Drive account".
We can also access from settings - advanced settings - files - Disconnect Google Drive account


3. Turn on the "Disconnect Google Drive account" button.


4. Now if we check the files application we will see that the drive folder is there, but it is 'read only'. 

5. So what we have to do is to reboot the system. We turn off the computers and turn it on again. 

6. The Google Drive folder will appear with all its functions, and we will be able to move and save files in it.
