It's not going to let Google track you all over your system, or even doing unrelated things in your file manager, but they obviously will know when you edit, copy, move, or delete files from Drive. And obviously they scan all of your documents on Drive for ad targeting, infringing content, AI training, and blackmail material. But connecting to them from Gnome won't give them the ability to do that to your files elsewhere. An official Google Drive app for desktop could, but this is just Gnome using public APIs.
Thank you, this was my question. Now I'll trust you and if it turns out google do manage to scan all the files in my system I'm gonna cry and blame you especifically for lying to me
