cant access files on mac through finder

Hi.

when i try to access my google drive files through Finder i get the message:

There was a problem connecting to the server “127.0.0.1”. This file server will not allow any additional users to log on. Try to connect again later.


Does someone know how to fix it ????

The error message you're seeing when trying to access your Google Drive files through Finder on macOS Ventura suggests that there may be an issue with the local server on your Mac. Here are a few steps you can try to resolve the issue:


  1. Clear the Finder cache: Clearing the Finder cache can often help resolve issues with connecting to servers. To do this, open a Finder window and press Shift+Command+G. Type in "~/Library/Caches" and press Enter. Locate the com.apple.finder folder and delete it. Then, restart your Mac and attempt to access your Google Drive files again.
  2. Check your Google Drive account: Log in to your Google Drive account from a web browser to ensure that your account is functioning properly and that your files are accessible.
  3. you can try resetting the local server on your Mac. To do this, open Terminal and enter the command "sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder". Then, restart your Mac and attempt to access your Google Drive files again.


Hope that helps in some way
