Research direction
Start by reproducing here() from an R project or file stored on Google Drive in RStudio on Windows 10, comparing it with RStudio’s copied path. The issue is done when the package consistently identifies the Google Drive project location rather than a C: drive location, including after restarting the R session.

Description
Hello, I am having trouble with here() on my windows 10 machine. I believe the problem stems from my use of it with google drive. The package and R are both up to date. I am using r studio. When I run a "here()" call from my google drive files, here often fails to find my project folder. Instead, it starts looking for a project in my C drive. This is even if I restart my r session and only have files from my google drive folder open. It's strange, because if I right-click the file and ask Rstudio to "copy path" for the file, it correctly identifies the google drive location. However, if I then run here::here() from the file, it spits out an entirely different and incorrect location. Any suggestions as to what the issue might be? Thanks!
