Hi, The Sign Out is in the Preferences but if it's dimmed, then you'll have issues. Maybe you should remove the Google Drive folder from your Home Directory, the folder itself. You shouldn't lose anything as it's all with Google anyway. I'm wondering if something is corrupt in the folder itself. You should also go into your System Prefs, in the Users & Groups pane, Login Items and remove Google Drive from the startup items. This will make it easier to troubleshoot as it won't always be trying to start on login. In this situation, when you open Google Drive from your Applications folder, it should be opening for the first time and maybe it'll ask for your credentials.
