Git LFS with Google Drive, Dropbox, etc?

I'm working on a game in Unity, so my project contains art assets. So I have to use Git LFS, but I will run out of that 1 GB quickly. (which is given by BitBucket. And that +1 GB is not so much and also costs a lot.)

Is there a way to store my LFS content on a Google Drive, Dropbox, some Azure service, or anything similar with more than 1 GB capacity?

(Dropbox is not preferred because the cheapest plan they afford is 1 TB and I think that that's a bit steep after a 2.5 GB free plan)

EDIT: I've just emigrated to GitLab, because it offers 10 GB for free.

Can I use Google Drive as a git repository?

No, you can't. There's no git running on Google drive.

What is git LFS large file storage used for?

Git LFS (Large File Storage) is a Git extension developed by Atlassian, GitHub, and a few other open source contributors, that reduces the impact of large files in your repository by downloading the relevant versions of them lazily.

When should you use git LFS?

Git LFS can be used when you want to version large files, usually, valuable output data, which is larger than Github limit (100Mb). These files can be plain text or binaries.

Check out this project:

https://github.com/sinbad/lfs-folderstore

It uses a Custom Transfer Agent to direct the files tracked by LFS to a different folder/service.
