Question:

When FFS connects to Google Drive, it is hardcoded to connect directly by default, but in China, you must use a VPN to access Google.

Temporary solution:

Setting temporary environment variables with PowerShell and then starting FFS with PowerShell can solve the problem, but it's not a long-term solution.
$env:HTTP_PROXY="http://127.0.0.1:7897";
$env:HTTPS_PROXY="http://127.0.0.1:7897"

I hope that FFS can automatically use the system (Windows) proxy when connecting to Google Drive.

Even after using the beta version, the detection still failed.

Is the error message different than before?
Where in Windows have you set up the proxy?
Can you give an example of the syntax used for the proxy settings?
