Any good and free Google Drive clients for linux?

Dunked0n · 08-25-2019, 11:46 AM

I use Google Drive at my school, And I really don't like using it on the web since it's so slow. I am wanting a program that will sync files directly on my computer like dropbox. But I can't seem to find any programs that will do the job, and the GNOME Google Drive integration is too slow and won't let me view files offline. And Drive File Stream is only for Windows and Mac. Are there any free clients out there that will sync my files straight to my computer?

Hi,

long ago I used Grive. It seems there is a new version at:
https://github.com/vitalif/grive2

I was happy enough with Grive and only stopped using it because I no longer needed it.

Evo2.

If you don't need it to be automated and you don't mind using the command line, then look into rclone.

I think OP is looking for something that'll let him or her work with Google Drive files specifically without needing to use the web interface. rclone sounds syncing ANY kind of file.
