This's actually by design since macOS has stopped showing custom icons in recent versions of the OS.

If you want to display the Google Drive icon, it wouldn't be possible without third-party software.

Extra: Dropbox uses a "hack" to show its icon in the sidebar as seen in this question, How come Dropbox gets an icon in Finder sidebar?.
