Did you enable legacy braille support under tools > accessibility? you are supposed to now do that for the past few years now as well as the screen reader support.

Google drive including docs and sheets are working fine here with nvda. I used it yesterday.

for google drive I would learn the key stroke. the key for uploading at least a rile are alt plus C, then u. you need to do this quickly. read the help on the keys with control slash in focus mode.

If you install and run the Google Drive desktop client, it will create
a virtual G: drive on your PC. All you have to do is open File
Explorer and go to the G: drive. Once there, you will find a folder
called My Drive. All your Google Drive files and folders will be in
there.
You can do all the usual things inside the My Drive folder using File
Explorer that you can with a local folder tree such as rename, move,
copy, and delete files and folders. And you can press Shift+F10 or
the AppKey on a file or folder for Google Drive options.
HTH! :)

for those like me who use the web part of google drive, set your pain to list when able. You can get to the area where the files are listed area with alt G, then I. then arrow up and down. to access the actions right click, apps key or I assume shift f10. to get to the folder area it is alt G then N as in navigation. I use the windows app however I prefer the website when traveling or if I need to quickly upload or create items.
I used the drive website for work, still do and while not perfect, it has become a lot better.
Note: all of this must be done in focus mode with nvda, browse mode will give you a headache the size of Texas.
I'm not sure of all the keystrokes, so look them up and note what you need in a notepad or external document.
Happy googling.
