... An 18 MB animated GIF embedded in the project home page just to show me a demo video? I suppose that’s on-brand for an Electron app. Snark aside, FFmpeg is your friend and a 1-liner plus a tag will reduce this to less than a MB. Your mobile visitors will thank you!

I'm guessing it's for people that want the Google products to be their main desktop office suite. Haven't looked into it, but maybe it can open .docx files etc. directly as the default app for it?
It still remains a shim over the stock Google Apps then, right?
What is the deal with Google's syncing apps? "Backup and Sync" still misses features like Files On-Demand/Smart Sync available in OneDrive/Dropbox and deleting files online pollutes the local trash/recycle bin on macOS/Window computers. "Drive File Stream" actually has these lazily loaded file placeholders, but it is treated like an additionally mounted volume instead of a local folder somewhere on my local disks. It…
Is there even an officially supported Linux client from Google?

Well, to be more specific -- I want the OS itself to be a full-screen tab container with multiple spaces/desktops (and add tiling, and popping out tabs like floating windows, as advanced usage). And then each tab is an app or app document window. So I could have a Chrome tab next to a Firefox tab if I wanted. Browser tabs would be peers next to other apps. None of this is about security, or running apps in the browse…
This bugs me too sometimes. It's incongruous that I can stack Gmail, docs, and my company's ticket system nearly into one tabulated window, but I have to use a completely different interface to access a local file browser, RDP, or the sniping tool. It's funny, my version would probably just put every browser tab into a different window and just use a powerful window manager like i3 to deal with everything.
These should at least get you pointed right.
Still waiting for Google Drive official linux client...
Here you go: https://github.com/jiahaog/nativefier If you have a setup you like, save it a shell script. You'll have to rerun as google breaks it every six months or so.

Nativier wraps a website with Electron, and in the end it's not a native apps. What I mean is a Google Drive client like Dropbox client in linux where I can sync a directory in my computer, to a directory in my Google Drive. There are some unofficial Google Drive client in Linux like Grive2 ( https://github.com/vitalif/grive2 ), but like any unofficial apps, they are prone to break when Google update their API.
If you have not yet looked at rclone, it's worth exploring, they do a great job.
