Sync Windows user folders (documents, pictures, music) to Drive File Stream

Hi, for quite some time I used Google Drive File Stream to sync/link my Windows Documents, Photos, Videos, etc., folders to GDrive.  I created folders named for those in GDrive, then pointed Windows' location to that location in GDrive (G:\My Drive\Desktop for example).  In the Drive File Stream app, these folders are all set to be 100% available offline.  

When I start Windows, I get an error stating that "G:\My Drive" is unavailable -- and desktop icons are missing, as well as any app icons I've pinned to taskbar.  

This wasn't always the case -- this is fairly new.  Previously the desktop and taskbar would appear as normal with all aspects in place.  Anyone have any ideas as to what could be going on?  

Thank you!

the issue might be that your network does not setup before you login which would prevent the access unless the data is locally cached.

double check you still have access or may have to update the gdrive software and resetup the sync or you may have changed your google password, or setup two factor auth and need to adjust the ........
