I assume you're familiar with this thread ==>> WARNING - Google Drive Incompatible with Calibre!, and the threads it references. They may give some clues about when GD corrupts the folder names.
Before I would use it, I'd want to see something official from Google that admitted they did change folder names, and that they have ceased doing so from such-and-such date.

Thanks for the pointer. Again that's a really old thread. Getting a direct statement from Google on anything but their annual profits is vanishingly unlikely.
I'm new to Calibre, but based on behaviour I've seen in Google Drive over a few years of use, I suspect this issue to be a furphy.
I think I'll just try it after making a local backup of my Calibre library.
