There is a workaround for this. I detailed it in a blog which may or may not let me post the link since I just registered and this is my only post:

Long story short, you can use Robocopy to make a copy of the files you want to backup. The source is the Google G: drive and the destination is a temp folder you set up for the copy. This is done in the Cobian tasks Events tab -> Pre-backup event
Point the Cobian task to backup the temp folder instead of the G: Drive folder. It works flawlessly.
Next, optional, use the Post-backup event to delete the temporary files and make it clean for the next run.
Outside of learning how to use Robocopy, it's pretty straightforward.
Example:One thing to note, I only tested this by making the files that were copied from G: Drive as Offline copies instead of "Stream Only" copies. I have no idea if the streamed copies will copy over. In theory, they should but... It's Google.
