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.
