I found a temporary work around.
In Automator services, I added a new service!
And it works for me just fine, till someone comes up with a better solution.
See my screen capture for specific details how to (should be easy to follow since it is my first time I used Automator) and I am a Dummy.
Important is to select your email service of your choice (gmail in my case) to send messages and attachments.
That will tell the OS X Mail client to use that service to send emails.
Save your Automator service file (give it a easy name you want to appear in the Finders right click popup window). Something like "Send file by email".
Now when I right click on a file in Finder it shows that service at the bottom of the popup window. Now just follow the instruction and see it work.
I guess that by "if there is a way to display GDrive on the Finder, just like where Dropbox is" you mean to display it in a sidebar, right?
To do that, just go to your home folder (/Users/[username]) and ... drag and drop Google Drive folder to sidebar.

You need to enable the Finder extension Google Drive.
Open the contextual menu for any file, and click on Share and then More.
That will bring you to the Extensions window.
Click on Finder and in the "Select extensions for customizing Finder" select Google Drive.
Now you should see the "View in Google Drive" and "Share with Google Drive" options when you Control-click / secondary click on files inside your Google Drive.
