FTP connection to Google Drive


Hi
Is there any free software which provides FTP connection to Google Drive?
Google Drive supports FTP connection and FileZilla Pro is offering this facility, but I am looking for free solution. So, kindly recommend me software which can serve my purpose.
Thanks

As you'll see if you get a sharing link for any file, google are heavy into JS to give you access to this particular file on this particular account. Their security is quite effective & tight. FTP, OTOH is basically an open door to your account. It won't be easy on Google Drive.

I think that there is another way. I can use some Google Drive client, which will create a folder in my home-directory. Then I can copy-paste required files into this directory, which will be uploaded by this google drive client (I think). But in this scenario, I fear that I will consume my entire bandwidth. Am I correct?
Filezilla Pro is giving an option to connect to Google Drive. I think I can use this option in free-version, under "New Sites", but I am confused that what setting should I use under New Sites?
