Hi Peter,
Google have recently increased the security on Google Accounts by
denying access to many apps and services that previously had access to
google accounts.
IIRC they want OAuth2 authentication done in a browser.
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=415089 is tracking Kio-gdrive.
I've found https://rclone.org very good when force to access Dropbox,
which otherwise has a very clunky UI. It gives a mounted filesystem,
unlike Kio. It also has Google Drive support and I get the impression
they handle the OAuth2 requirement. https://rclone.org/drive/
rclone's mounted filesystem should be available in whatever GUI file
browser is endured. :-)
I have never had any problem with Dropbox in Dolphin. It is just another folder
on my system, and whatever I do there is automatically uploaded to the cloud so
that it can be accessed from anywhere. Actually we have a dropbox folder called
'sharing' that we use to pass stuff back and forth between users.
