Folder redirection for users to Google Drive

An inquiry of if this is possible or something Google is looking into. Please remove if in wrong group or question has been asked or it violates anything.

 

We have multiple schools where students are all chromebooks and staff are some chromebooks & some Windows.

 

We have local redirected folders through Windows server but would like to see if this is possible through Google Drive. So far I have not had success with my own testing (since Google File Stream was merged into Google Drive) and have seen no Google supported documentation.

 

The goal would be to have a user login and upon signing into the Windows laptop having Google Drive auto start, like it normally does, and then have there Desktop, Documents, and Picture folders automatically show up. Then they would also be backed up to Google Drive as well. Would also be nice if it functioned similarly to where if the user logged in to another Windows laptop/desktop and had Google Drive on it would populate Documents, Desktop, Pictures.

 

Might be a pipe dream but that is something I would like to look into. Curious if others have had this same thought.
