In your project settings, make sure you have your proxy generation set to your google drive in the Master Settings, as well as your Blackmagic Cloud settings are set to "Don't sync media" And you also have "Multi User Collaboration" turned on. Make sure your "project media location" is on a local disk, not on shared storage.
Allowing Blackmagic to automatically create proxies and manually creating proxies has in the past created different results, but I think that's been addressed in new updates as I haven't had to deal with it in a while.
To test this is working now, only create one proxy to ensure your settings are correct.
Select your media in the media pool and select "Generate Proxy media" This will create a proxy file in the location set in the Project settings (ie. Google Drive) As long as you have shared folders with the other user they will have access to this proxy file. (I've only used Google File Stream for Business, so i'm not entirely sure how this works with non Business accounts)
Hope that helps.
