2 problems with that plan.
1)Google drive is incompatible with Calibre. It changes file names. (Zipping the Library THEN using GD is ok because it never touches the zip contents)

2) Any 2 way sync is a Calibe disaster waiting to happen, Thing must happen NOW and in order. There have been cases of the sync putting back old stuff that no longer matches the Database. SYNC must be stopped while using Calibre.
Red the FAQ, there are years of tips to help avoid stumbles like GD
