Native Google Drive connection

Hi!
I read that now, Gnome (I think is the one we use in Zorin) can manage Google Drive connection natively.

I went to "Accounts" and added my google account. I go to Files app, and I find it, but when I click on it it only thinks without stop...

Did you achieve make it work to see your Google Drive files directly in the Zorin OS without using a 3rd party app?

You have to set it up and I did this a little less than a year ago- and cannot remember how. (Now, I use Sync.cloud or Pcloud. Pcloud is nagware and you have to smack it around a lot and I hate their sales marketing. However, Google Drive gets files out of order, fails downloads, fails uploads, misreads files and my files get observed, so I hate it and never will use it again.)
Looking it up- I found this:
