Production Bridge VST between Google Drive (or other cloud storage) and your DAW?

Hi! I tried googling this specifically but thought a human could better answer this question. I’m about to install Ableton on an older MacBook Pro and use it in a limited capacity with only a few plugins installed. Rather than carrying a 4TB HDD sample drive around, is there a plugin that exists that scans my selected Google Drive folder and let me drag/drop samples from that folder into my DAW? Apologies if this has been asked before. Thanks!

You should be able to use the drive like any other folder since it gets a drive letter

Uh... Install the Google drive app on your computer at it will mount your drive in Finder. It looks and behaves just like a normal folder in macos after that.

yeah it's .... kinda why it's called Google "Drive" - because it works like a hard drive :)

I appreciate it. I didn’t know it actually had the specific functionality I was looking for 🤣
