Please note before upgrading to macOS Sierra 10.12.5:
We’ve received reports wherein Google Docs open in the wrong/non-default browser when opening the “.gddocs” or “.gdsheet” files in the Insync folder.
From our testing and based on this forums post – only users on the latest macOS 10.12.5 are affected by this. This post on the Apple forums suggests that the update affects other services too: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7959365?start=0&tstart=0
We’re checking if there’s an Insync workaround for this but Apple should be looking into this as well.
We’ll post updates here.

Can confirm I am having the same issue. Chrome is set as my default browser but InSync opening files in Firefox since 10.12.5 update.
I can confirm the same issue as well. Chrome is our default browser and InSync opens up Safari instead.
Same here. Opens safari instead.
Same here - opens in FireFox and when I try opening in Chrome I get a string of code instead of the usual doc
Same problem here, and it began right after I updated to version 10.12.5. Google Docs open in Safari instead of in Chrome (my default browser).
Yeah – SUPER annoying. Anyone have a fix?
I hate to add another “me too” response to this thread but I’m not aware of another way to follow and get notified when a solution is posted. Wish I had known about this before upgrading.

Good news! Here’s a special build (still 1.3.16) for users who are affected by the browser issue: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwdTGfuY-IV9QXpqNmpCRFkwTEk/view
We’re still working on 1.3.17 which will include the fix. This will come as an automatic update to all (even if you install the special build above)
