Completely uninstall ALL Google software per the instructions on Google's website. Currently, Google Drive and Chrome are STILL not playing well and are NOT 100% compatible/compliant with OS X Mavericks. Until Google releases a proper and correct fix or update for OS X Mavericks, completely uninstall Google Drive for the near future.

I founded that this is a Google Drive known issue on Mac:

Sync status icons missing on Mac

After you install Google Drive for your Mac, you should see sync status icons next to file names in the Google Drive folder on your computer. If you don’t see these icons, try restarting the application.

Open the Google Drive menu from the toolbar at the top of your screen.
Select "Quit."
Restart Google Drive by opening it from your Applications folder.
Enter your Mac username and password (not your Google Account information).
The sync status icons should now appear in your Google Drive folder.
