It wouldn't necessarily need to be - GDrive could potentially try to sync
it (or an sqlite temp file) while you are working on it. (That said, i know
little about how sqlite locks its files and how Windows deals with that -
maybe this isn't possible on Windows.)

FWIW, i have, in the far past, hosted repos (for myself) on Dropbox and
never had a problem with sync-related corruption, but i also eventually
stopped using it for that purpose because the potential for corruption in
that scenario is (at least abstractly speaking) relatively high. Never
_seen_ it happen, but could reasonably happen and it would be no fault of
fossil, so i recommend against it.
