I am not using DHCP for delivery of the PAC/WPAD file. I have a DNS entry only, no DHCP.

Open to suggestions.

Not good.

You haven't read the URL properly. It has to be a PAC file for Google Drive. 

People got it working with PAC file:

Specifically:

If you put in direct http and https references to the proxy server, then Drive will work.

As we are trying to get some sort of centralised administration going, we use a PAC file to deliver the proxy settings. Our PAC file looks like this:

// Go direct for local net and .plc
// Go via proxy for all other hosts.

function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
 {
 if ((dnsDomainIs(host, ".plc") || 
      isInNet(host, "172.16.0.0", "255.255.0.0") ||
      isInNet(host, "127.0.0.1", "255.255.255.255") ))
	{	
   		return "DIRECT";
	}
 else
	{
		return "PROXY 172.16.2.47:8080";
	}
 }

HTH
