After recently updating to OS X 10.9.1 Google Drive was unable to update and/or sync.

However, after following the instructions (Click on the Google Drive icon in the menu bar and select Update) nothing would happen. Quitting/restarting Google Drive didn’t solve this issue, nor did rebooting.

With that said, we have a fix!
