I tried that multiple times. GOogle ignores my setting.
This is how the relationship is with them. I moved on 10 years ago, they fought my every step, e.g. suddenly exporting from Drive didn't work.

That sucks. I had an issue at first with it only giving the option for android even though I'm on pc, but eventually I managed to get it right, I think there was another sub menu or something, I can't remember exactly since it was a few months ago now.. If that's not it, I guess give some of the other options given here a try?
