Hello
Is it possible to share a folder on Google Drive as a music library for remote playing with LMS?
Or do I need to make an IP address (QNAP) for access or is only local (LAN) access possible?

Not directly as you can't mount a Google Drive - there is software that claims to do it but it doesn't work very well.

Even if it worked: performance would most likely be awful. During a scan
LMS accesses every single file to read the metadata. If that file was
hosted online, this would take forever.
