关于Google Drive桌面端计算机名称修改及macOS Ventura下公司名称修改的技术问询
Hey there, let's work through this issue together. It's pretty common to notice that the company/computer name showing up in Google Drive doesn't match what you've set in System Preferences > General on macOS Ventura—so let's fix that.
First, let's clarify: Google Drive often pulls device identification from your Mac's network-specific hostname rather than just the general system name you see in the About section. Here's how to align them:
Step 1: Update your Mac's Local Hostname
- Open System Settings (the gear icon in your Dock)
- Navigate to General > Sharing
- At the bottom of this menu, you'll see a "Local hostname" field. If this is the mismatched name showing up in Google Drive, click the "Edit" button next to it, type in the correct name, and hit OK.
Step 2: Refresh Google Drive's device info
Once you've updated the hostname, you need to make Google Drive recognize the change:
- Quit Google Drive entirely (right-click its icon in the menu bar > Quit)
- Wait 10-15 seconds, then reopen the app
- If the name still doesn't update, try signing out and back in:
- Right-click the Google Drive icon > Settings > Disconnect account
- Sign back in with your credentials, and the new name should sync over.
Step 3: Double-check your main system name
Even though you mentioned it's correct in System Preferences > General, let's confirm just to be thorough:
- Go to System Settings > General > About
- Click the "Name" field at the top, adjust it if needed, and press Enter. Sometimes tiny inconsistencies here can throw off linked apps like Google Drive.
If you're still seeing the wrong name after these steps, try clearing Google Drive's cache:
- Quit Google Drive first
- Open Finder, press
Cmd + Shift + G, and paste this path:~/Library/Application Support/Google/Drive - Locate cache files like
cached_sync_config.db, move them to the Trash (hold onto them temporarily in case you need to revert), then reopen Google Drive and sign back in.
That should resolve the mismatch! Let me know if you run into any hiccups while going through these steps.
