Access Drive files on Mac/PC faster, using less disk space
Introducing Drive File Stream — a new way to access all of your Google Drive files directly from your Mac or PC, without using up all your disk space. Unlike traditional file sync tools, Drive File Stream doesn't require you to download your files first in order to access them from your computer. Instead, when you need to view or edit a file, it automatically streams from the cloud, on-demand. With Drive File Stream, your team will spend less time waiting for files to sync, no time worrying about disk space, and more time being productive.
Get your files in seconds with smarter offline access
With Drive File Stream, files you open are streamed directly from the cloud on-demand. You can also select files or folders that you want to access offline at anytime. The files that you are likely to work on from your Mac or PC become available in the background intelligently, making it much quicker to access them later.
Work with all the tools and apps you're used to
With Drive File Stream, you can work with Drive files directly from the apps you're used to, like Microsoft Word and Adobe Photoshop. Any changes you make to files in those apps are saved automatically to Drive and can be accessed from any of your devices later.

Solved it! It was a combination of many solutions presented above, but I just had to put them in the right order:
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 Magnet for mac.
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
Drive File Stream Macos
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
Under ‘Allow apps downloaded from’ the option ‘Anywhere’ was now visible and automatically enabled
Google Drive File Stream Mac System Extension Blocked
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.
