A normal swap space is a partition on a hard drive that is used as overflow for ram. It allows the computer to continue working if all the ram is being used.
As far as using google drive as a swap, i have no idea how that would be implemented, but if it's real, the computer would just upload overflow memory to g drive.
It's real, I've seen the blog post from them
