The message is straight forward.
Apparently you defined a RealTimeSync (RTS) task that includes monitoring one or more gdrive folders for changes. And, as the message states, gdrive does not support being monitored for changes (at least not via the method used by RTS).
It simply means that any changes originating in your gdrive folder(s) will not trigger RTS to launch the application you specified; most likely a FreeFileSync (FFS) synchronization.
Changes in any other RTS monitored folder(s) will still trigger RTS to launch its specified application.
If you like to avoid the message, you can delete the gdrive from the RTS monitored folder list.
