How to change Cloud service path to NAS ?

[GoetzPhil]

I need to share video data with my team of editors. SO I use Google Drive as this is the only provider here in the Philippines where I can Up/Download with 50B/s and more.
Using Gdrive Deskoop the problem is that ALL Cloud drives get stored at
/Users/name/Library/CloudStorage/GoogleDrive and as far I researched one cannot change that path....

For MIRRORING the path is FIXED by MacOSX Google Drive tells me.
If I want to use SHARING I am able to change the path, just NAS is not supported by Google.

WTF....
