Practical ways you can use Google Drive and Adobe Photoshop Lightroom

Backup Lightroom edits in Google Drive

Yes, by setting up specific triggers when you update or organize photos in Google Drive, you can synchronize these changes with your Lightroom collections.

Set triggers for when a new file is added or an existing file is updated in Google Drive. These actions will then be mirrored in your connected Lightroom workspace.
