when I look at Gdrive, there is also a fuse client to mount Gdrive. I wonder, when modifying a file on Gdrive through this client, is the file "locked" or in any other way set to "in use" to prevent others to modify the "original" on the internet? I haven't found anything about this. Isn't there a locking method with Google docs api?

You can use password protection for a Google Drive folder as long as you were the user who created the files. However, you can't encrypt a Google Drive folder, although individual documents can be encrypted. The owner can control permissions and grant them to users with whom the files are shared.
Find the file or folder in Google Drive, Google Docs, Google Sheets, or Google Slides. Open or select the file or folder. Select Restricted. Click Done.
There is no such feature, but you can use the ETag of the file's entry to ensure that no one else has changed the file since it was fetched. This is not exactly the same thing, but it can achieve the same effect of ensuring that changes from one place are not overwritten by changes from another place.
