Hello, new Linux Garuda user here. I tried adding a new Online Account via "KDE System Settings." When I click on the "+ Add New Account" button, it results in a blank window.
Also, when I open Dolphin file manager, then select the "Network" folder, then select the "Google Drive" option, the "Add New Account" window pops up. I get the same blank window when I click on the "+ Add New Account" button. Please help. Thank you. . .

I was provided a solution to this issue from a Garuda Linux community member. I used rclone and here is the webpage explaining how:

NOTE: After mounting the drive I used Dolphin file manager to search for my mount point (~/gdrive/ in my case), then drag and dropped it to the left side of Dolphin file manager window to provide a shortcut to my Google Drive folders.

In my case, I plan to run rclone only on the occasions I need to transfer to and from Google Drive. If you wish to mount your Google Drive automatically at startup, there is a way to do that using "systemd rclone mount." Here are the instructions:
