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.
