One Drive and Google Drive are two very different products. Google Drive loves adding a (number) to the end of folder names as part of it's versioning. Sadly, calibre adds a (number) to folder names as part of it's database recovery capability. A rather basic incompatibility.

Basically, using anything other than a locally attached drive for storing your calibre library is a disaster waiting to happen. One misstep and you will needing that recent backup—you do have backups?

To quote the FAQ you were given the link to:

Even with these tools there is danger of data corruption/loss, so only do this if you are willing to live with that risk. 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. See this thread for details.

I'm going to assume from your continued posts, that you did not read WARNING - Google Drive Incompatible with Calibre!.
