Be sure to type and save a path on your work machine even if it looks like it's already filled in. GH can be ornery when you first set up, so maybe give it one more try, watching for things like an accidental space on the end of the repository name. It's usually something like that when people have trouble setting up. Also, once you have it set up, consider setting your save to "manual" and only save as needed -- GH doesn't like rapid-fire saves. If you can use GH at all at work, then I kind of doubt it's a proxy problem.
Re GDrive, like you, I worry about my info going through someone else's site, no matter how benign.
