Kernel extensions are now referred to as legacy system extensions and require additional configuration to continue working. Hopefully, one of them will click.With the release of macOS Big Sur (11.0), Apple has moved further down the road of deprecating kernel extensions (kext) within macOS. If you are one of the users facing this issue, then try the workarounds given below. Take the claim with a pinch of salt though, as we were unable to verify if it’s true.

This statement can be backed up by a user’s claim wherein they’ve said that Google Drive is not fully supported in macOS Big Sur. It could be quite possible that the app just isn’t optimized for the new architecture/environment. However, the M1 makes use of the mobile ARM architecture.

Has anyone been able to get Google Backup and Sync to work on an M1 Mac? I cannot get through the setup/installation process.Īs apparent from the above complaints, users facing this issue report that upon trying to configure their Google account in the Backup and Sync app, they get a popup saying “Something went wrong. For the last hour or so I’ve been Googling this issue, but all I can find so far is that there were some issues with Google Backup and Sync and Big Sur, but those issues were resolved in the latest beta’s. When I open/config my account in the Backup and Sync app, I get the error: “something went wrong. Previously, reports stated that the file stream wasn’t working, and now there’s the “Error: 8B227910” issue.Īs a result, there have been plenty of complaints about the same on Google Drive and MacRumors forums, as well as Reddit. Google Drive Backup & Sync users seem to be having a really hard time using the app after the Big Sur update.
