Nope, piece of cake: Just set GNC_DOT_DIR to a folder on your Google Drive. You didn't say what OS you're using,
so in Linux you can just set it in .bashrc. On OSX you'll want to edit Gnucash.app/Contents/MacOS/Gnucash. On Windows
the easiest way is to edit the shortcut in the menu (right-click on it and select Properties from the context menu).
