Ah, I've not used Google Drive and assumed that it worked similarly
to Dropbox (or any of the other folder-syncing programs).

Excellent.  That suggests that, if "Dropbox_reminders" is a reminder
file, you should be able to

  $ cd ~
  $ ln -s Dropbox/System/Dropbox_reminders ~/.reminders

or if it's a folder containing your reminders.rem file, then you can

  $ ln -s Dropbox/System/Dropbox_reminders/reminders.rem ~/.reminders

so you can then just invoke

  $ rem

which is (as best I can tell) `remind` but defaults to ~/.reminders
and the current date so you don't have to specify them on the
command-line.
