It sounds like Google Drive isn't a very good option for Linux users. Better look for another provider which support Linux, or to do it yourself with syncthing.
If all you need is 15 Go, it's something which can easily be stored on another device and synced with syncting. If you need more you'd have to pay anyway, go pick anything but Google.
What do you mean? There's literally an integration with GDrive in Gnome and KDE.
These integrations have big limitations which I would consider deal breakers. To quote this blog post :
That's better than nothing, but definitely not a good option.
For sure it could benefit from extra features like a watchdog that checks for any file changes and synchronizes when there is. Like the Windows tool.
