This is wat I found somewhere.

Sign out from the account, and the next time you sign in, on page 2 there will be advanced setup which lets you change the location.

The exact thin with details is given here.

Edit 2: This method probably doesn't work anymore. Leaving the answer for reference.

Edit: Use with caution, doesn't work for some...

Following procedure doesn't require you to delete and redownload the Google Drive folder. As found in this thread:

  1. Quit Drive by selecting its icon in the menubar (taskbar on PC) and clicking 'Quit.'
  2. Move the Google Drive folder to the desired location.
  3. When you open Drive again, an error message will be in the Drive icon menu saying that it cannot find the Google Drive folder. Click on that message.
  4. Click 'Locate folder' in the window that pops up, navigate to the location you moved it to, and click 'Reconnect.'

    How can I change the default location of the folder of Google Drive to the drive root? In this case, D:?

    Where in the regedit, or which config file this info is saved?
