Hi Jonas:

You might want to check out ExpanDrive <http://expandrive.com/>, which claims 
to do this for Google and Box (as well as a number of other services that 
aren't centrally supported on campus).  I've heard good things about it from 
people I trust, but I don't have personal experience with it. It is commercial 
software.

As a potential alternative, if you use Box instead of Drive, you can connect to 
Box with WebDAV, which will give you what you're looking for, albeit somewhat 
slowly.  Depending on your needs, that may be sufficient (and the 
price--free--is right).  To access it via WebDAV, you'll need to set an 
external password 
<https://kb.berkeley.edu/campus-shared-services/page.php?id=27032>  the see the 
WebDAV instructions 
<https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/200519748-Does-Box-support-WebDAV->. 
Note that the instructions to use "Your Box account email address" should 
follow the [email protected] format, if your CalNet ID differs from your 
primary @berkeley.edu email address.

See http://kb.berkeley.edu/page.php?id=44390 for a summary of the different 
collaboration platforms here on campus and the strengths of each.

Hope that helps,

Ian
