    Hi EAB_DW

    Welcome to the community!

    Try some troubleshooting step as below-

    1. Navigate to the MyDrive Connect setup .exe file that's being blocked by SmartScreen.
    2. Right-click the file. Click Properties.
    3. Click the checkbox next to Unblock so that a check mark appears.
    4. Click Apply.

    The file should now be treated as safe by SmartScreen and you'll be allowed to install it. If you're running into further problems, try running the program as an Administrator in addition to the steps above.
