Google Drive for Desktop keeps disconnecting?

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I'll try my luck:


On my work-issued Macbook Pro, I have the entire Adobe Software suite installed on my mac, along with Google Drive for desktop installed. I used the Google Drive to access shared files with my graphic design colleagues.


My laptop was acting fine since working for this employer (about 10 months now) but about 3 weeks ago, my mac started to repeatedly lose connection with the Google Drive application, and I am cut off from accessing the shared art files.


My design apps like InDesign and Photoshop will also stop working, and I get the spinning color wheel.


The Desktop location also disappears from my Finder app window.


These three issues all strike at once, together, repeatedly. For a temporary fix, I'll hard reset my computer, and things seem to get back to normal. But inevitably the issue pops up again. Usually when I have to dig for a file in the share drive.


Does anyone have a clue what could be happening? It's completely disrupting my workflow.
