Do not attempt to use Google Drive or any Cloud type drive as your database location. Please see the following information:
The local copy of the database will sync with the one on Google Drive after a minute or so. That is why the status does not show on other computers, the different computers all have their own local copy of the database you are not actually working from the same database.
So now if you go to the other computer and access the database, that local database will sync and replace the first synced copy replacing any changes made on the first computer.
So the bottom line is Google Drive or any cloud type drive is not a reliable solution for storage of your "shared" database.
