feat: improve Google Drive connector handling and UI feedback

- Added logic to refresh connector and notification attributes after indexing to ensure up-to-date information.
- Enhanced periodic sync configuration to disable the option when no folders or files are selected for Google Drive, providing user feedback through a message.
- Updated the connector edit view to reflect the new disabled state for periodic sync based on selected items.
- Implemented validation in the connector dialog to prevent enabling periodic sync without selected items, improving user experience.
