I fixed the problem, it was due to the incorrect setup of the google drive. I followed this guide to set everything up from scratch and create the folder directly in Linux instead of constantly accessing the apparently "encrypted" cloud. If anyone ever runs into the same problem, I really hope this thread is helpful :D

you might be able to load a drive with locally with google-drive-ocamlfuse but you wouldn't get access to google drives proprietary files (google doc, sheet, slide, etc)

There's always the excellent unofficial google-drive-ocamlfuse which uses FUSE to mount Google drive to a local directory.

Agree with previous comment, dejadup is a good option for local backups, but there isnt a really good backup cloud tool in linux enviroment: https://github.com/vitalif/grive2, https://github.com/astrada/google-drive-ocamlfuse, etc.
