I have installed the Google Drive desktop app and it's available on Finder as a mounted drive, but I can't seem to access it from the terminal. For example, when I do cd 'Google Drive' I get a cd: Permission denied: 'Google Drive/' error. This happens even when I have some files stored locally. Is there anyway to do this without explicitly downloading the entire Google Drive folder locally? EDIT: cd /Volumes/GoogleDrive produces the same error.
