I thought Google Drive issues were resolved a few years ago.
Any suggestions on how to best get the data on my hard drive back into Calibre?

In particular, be aware that Google Drive is incompatible with calibre, if you put your calibre library in Google Drive, you will suffer data loss.

The second link references a couple of possible solutions to recover from the damage GD inflicts on calibre libraries.
