I haven't worked with the Google Drive client. However, the only time VCL has any knowledge of a users password (assuming LDAP authentication is being used) is when the user submits the Login page. That single page load has the password in RAM, but then redirects the user back to the site, submitting a new page load that then does not have the password any more. This is by design for security. So, without the password, it would be difficult to authenticate the user to Google Drive to have the client be connected. There may be something related to federated identity management that could be done that I am not aware of.
