Hey all,

I need to somehow be able to set the default backup folders for google drive, and while I was looking through the app config plist files, I was able to find that in the "com.google.drivefs.plist" file, there's a key called SyncTargets, which contains an encrypted <data> field, which has the folders that you want to backup to google drive.


Has anyone been able to override or preset this value before?


Thanks!

Did you ever find an answer to this one? Trying to do the same thing and backup Downloads, Desktop & Documents by default
