The Google Drive page of the Options window (accessible from the File, Options->Online connections menu item) contains Google Drive settings.
When Google Drive server not ready
The first number (Retry option) indicates how many times the application tries to access the destination server if it is not available. By default this option is set to 5 attempts. The second number (wait option) indicates how many seconds to wait between two consecutive attempts to access the destination location. By default this option is set to 60 seconds. This option is useful when the destination Google Drive server has restrictions (i.e. only 2 users logged in the same time, no. of accesses etc.) and insures that if the Google Drive server cannot accept your connection, it will not be "hammered" by sending log-in requests frequently.
Configurations
The File->Options->Online connections->Google Drive window allows you to define Google Drive configurations that can be used on the Destination page in the New Backup Wizard or Backup Properties windows. You can add, edit, copy or delete a Google Drive connection using this window.
