As far as I'm aware, remind does not honor URLs.  It demands a local file.

Remember that, in the Unix world, "local file" is a pretty open-ended
construct.  For example, I don't know if it's possible to mount a
google-drive as an NFS disk.  But if you can, that would work.

You might also be able to write a little wrapper script, something
like (not tested, just a sample)
=====
#!/bin/sh
wget -O ~/.reminders https://drive.google.com/[blahblahblah]/.reminders
remind $@
rm ~/.reminders
=====
And that might work.

The only other option I can think of is some kind of regularly automated
rsync, to maintain a local copy of your (entire) google-drive.

But what you're trying to do, won't work.
