I would like to transfer my media from my external HD to a cloud platform. Can I connect Plex to Google One/Google Drive?

Yes, this is very straightforward. Sign up for G Suite for Business & you get unlimited storage on Google Drive for $10/€8/£6.60 per month even with only one user. The oft-quoted 1TB limit for less than five users has never been enforced & is not part of the T&Cs.
Use rclone to mount your Google Drive on your PMS. Here is an excellent primer on setting up Plex & Google Drive with a VPS but the steps are almost the same with a local PMS https://www.techperplexed.ga/p/index.html
I run my local PMS on Ubuntu Linux in a VM on MacOS using VMware Fusion & it works really nicely. The only downside of using Google Drive is that playing media takes longer to start.
