You'd likely have to implement a storage adapter for Paperclip. Take a look at something like https://github.com/dripster82/paperclipdropbox as an example. In that case, it looks like it only supports uploading to a single pre-authorized account. If that's OK, then modifying that to talk to Google Drive instead of Dropbox should be straightforward. If you need to support multiple users, you'd have to make sure the right credentials are being used for the current user.

Anyway, the paperclip docs are likely the best place to get started :)
