Google drive uses a new volume each time you restart your system.

Instead of indexing as FAT/NTFS, please index your G: drive as a folder:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the NTFS tab on the left.
  • Select your G: drive (if listed) and uncheck Include in database.
  • Click the FAT tab on the left.
  • Select your G: drive (if listed) and uncheck Include in database.
  • Click the Folders tab on the left.
  • Click Add....
  • Select your G: drive and click OK.
  • Click OK.
