Solved it! It was a combination of many solutions presented above, but I just had to put them in the right order:
Google Drive For Mac Pc
I deleted the Google Drive File Stream app, emptied the trash
I reinstalled the app (still gave an error when trying to log in)
I went to the Finder folder Library --> Application Support --> Google.
I renamed the folder DriveFS to DriveFS.old
I was now able to log into the app, but it still gave an error accessing the files:
I then went to GO --> Utilities --> Terminal in order to overwrite the Gatekeeper
I entered: sudo spctl --master-disable
Then I entered my password (it’s not visible that you enter something, but the key strokes are noted)
After this I went to system preferences --> Security & Privacy
Google Drive App Mac Os
Under ‘Allow apps downloaded from’ the option ‘Anywhere’ was now visible and automatically enabled
Also, it now showed the text ‘System software from developer “Google, Inc.” was blocked from loading’. --> click 'Allow'
Then when reopening the app, it would start downloading all my files.
