Is it possible to use Google Drive reliably?

I've been using Google Drive in Windows for about a decade and have a good workflow. I recently transitioned to Linux but cannot seem to reliably connect my drive to the filesystem. My work provides unlimited Drive space and since it's for work I have shared directories with coworkers that I need access to every day. Hence, I'm kind of tied to GDrive.

Is there a reliable method of doing this? Rclone seems to be what I want but it seems to disconnect regularly, and often doesn't upload the changes I make which defeats the purpose.

Do Linux users just not use Drive?

I am using rclone with Linux, and works just fine. Just long term backups, but it runs the same speed (slow) as windows-to-proton.

Anyway, point being rclone works!

Yep, and some linux community will most likely pickup on development if Proton doesn't turn it into a full desktop linux app like the Windows or Mac version.
