You may have missed something in Steps 1 and steps 2. No way for us to know.

If you are interested, I am pretty sure that goofle drive Has linux versions of the desktop drive app. Never used the Linuxx version, but I would imagine it is the same as the windows version, which adds your drive folders to the file explorer. That is the windows version of what you're trying to do here. Ill grab a link.

You could mount the remote location with gio

$ gio mount google-drive://<your gmail user>@gmail.com/

Please report what you get, both when mounting and then in Nautilus (make sure the file manager you are using is Nautilus!).

Also post the output of

$ gio mount -l

As of now, I wouldn't know the reason why it does not show.
EDIT: You might be missing package gvfs-backends.

@COMRADEDEV - 1) Would you mind posting what I asked on Sep 21? 2) Please post the output of `dpkg -l | grep gvfs`. 3) Updating the kernel (5.8.0 is somewhat old) might help.

Open your settings and go into "Online Accounts" and check if you can see your google account there. If not then probably you have to sign in again. Make sure Files option is on.

Probably, you will be able to see your account in File Explorer.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
