You could install the Google Drive client and then run WinDirStat against the virtual drive letter that it creates:

I have done this before, and it works, but the client downloads every single file locally in the background before it's able to do the comparison. I suspect this is because WinDirStat requests metadata about the file itself, and the sync client needs to download the files in order to serve that metadata and/or file contents information to the application.
