David, There are options that will mount (the Linux term for making hard drives, network drives, USB drives, CD/DVD drives visible to processes and applications) Google Drive for use. I personally use a product called Insync (https://www.insynchq.com/) which allows me to create via the Insync software a "mount" on my local Linux system that looks like any other harddrive. If I copy a file to that "mount point" the Insync software syncs the file up to Google Drive, etc. I'm sure that there are other possibilities.
