Thanks for the Google Drive integration!

It works well, but in Dolphin there are 2 cosmetic issues.

When linking a folder from gdrive to another directory, a .desktop file is created. This technically works as expected, but aestetically is problematic.

1. it uses the entire filepath gdrive: link instead of just the last part, the folder name
2. it  has a blank "unknown file" icon, while using the "folder-gdrive" icon would be better

These cosmetic additions would make the integration work flawless and comfortable, currently renaming and setting a different  icon is needed to make it look "normal"

Thanks!

Hi seniors and colleagues,

I'm a newcomer to the project and recently came across this bug while studying related modules. I'm quite interested in the scenario described. Though I'm still gaining experience, I'd like to try investigating this issue as a learning opportunity.

If this bug hasn't been assigned to anyone yet, may I try looking into it? If I run into problems I can’t solve, I may need to seek advice from you all—I’d really appreciate your guidance!

Thank you for your support!
