Yes, if you are a Google Drive user you will get nagged to change. You have two options:
Backup and Sync - or - Google Drive File Stream You do NOT want the latter. It forces your Google Drive on to C: and hides it and will not allow you to move it to other drives. I did not realize there were two totally different products they were trying to get everyone to migrate to. The nag screen just says the legacy Google Drive will stop working sometime this year. So, I uninstalled File Stream, had to search the C drive for files modified today, found where it hid the files and am now deleting about 130 GB of files. At least my old Google Drive contents on D: are still there and I re-downloaded Backup and Sync and it is now bringing that up to sync rather than a full transfer.

All copies on all devices (including Google) are the same. Well, for Google Drive. Maybe they have something new now.

It wants to put local content on the C drive only. If you have not made the switch, I would recommend against it. I am trying to undo this.
