There is no direct support for Google drive. I guess you could copy to a google drive mounted as a normal drive, but I'm just guessing. :|

But it would be interesting not to use install google drive, but use the google drive api as some backup programs do, it is safer! Is there a possibility for you to add this functionality to the backup destination?

I was planing to add such an option. There is one 3rd part library I was planing to buy to integrate cloud services. Unfortunately, not enough donations . I went to to prioritize the sFTP and ZIP libraries and the code signing certificate. I will try to implement those my self using their APIs when version 1.0 is out, though.

My two cents -
If you're considering adding cloud storage such as google drive, I would considering adding multiple cloud based storage options.
I wonder can you Ftp /sftp files to cloud storage locations - {just a thought; I have never looked into that}

Yes, if I add those it will support at least the big ones.
