In the past, I’ve had no trouble with tables larger than one page flow over two pages, but now I’m having trouble. Specifically, If a table exactly fills a page, it won’t appear directly under the label; the label appears at the top of one page, and the table appears on the next page. I’ve checked the table Properties, and the “splitable” check box is checked. I didn’t have this problem before, but I’ve got it now. I haven’t made any drastic changes to my system (unless you consider adding Google Drive a drastic change). What should I do?
Would you mind to tell your LibO version,
whether the file containing the table was already saved
if so, in what file “format”?
To also name your OS/version would not be excessive.
I cannot verify the problem with LibO 5.2.2 Writer.
While the cursor is in the table, choose menu Table - Properties… (the same that right-click in the table and select Table Properties…) - Text Flow tab, uncheck Break, and check Allow table to split across pages and columns.
Tested with LibreOffice 6.3.6.2 (x86); OS: Windows 6.1.

I had a similar problem where a table of more than a page in size was starting at the top of the next page rather than breaking across pages even though the option to allow the table to split across pages appeared to be set. I was selecting the entire table and then looking at Table Properties and trying different options
I got a different result by selecting all rows except the one Heading row. I then chose to allow the table to split across pages. This made it break correctly. (Sadly, I can’t reproduce this problem. My table must have undergone a different history to get into the problem situation in the first place.)
