drive VS cyberduck

I just want to collect the major options for Google Drive on Linux in a single comment, since a few options are scattered around:

Insync works well, and it's 50% off for a couple more days: https://www.insynchq.com/ Not affiliated, but $15 is not a lot to pay, as opposed to waiting for something that probably won't happen.

Rclone has support for Google Drive, and it's open source: https://rclone.org/

There's a command line client that uses a push/pull workflow: https://github.com/odeke-em/drive It was written by a member of the Google Drive team.

Gnome supports Google Drive, or at least used to, directly in Nautilus. I don't use Gnome, so I can't comment.

There may be other options I've missed, but the point is that there is already good support in multiple forms. I'd be interested to know what support Google could provide that's not already available.

Run this command to download (into your home directory): $ mkdir -p ~/.local/bin $ cd ~/.local/bin $ wget -c "https://github.com/odeke-em/drive/releases/download/v0.4.0/drive_linux" -O "drive-google" $ chmod a+x ./drive-google

I think the dolphin file manager has Google drive access built in. But it requires the kio-gdrive package to be installed. If I am not mistaken it also does not do a sync to the local file system, it just allows for more convenient access. But this might be more like something, you are looking for: https://github.com/odeke-em/drive but I haven't tried this one out myself.

If you want a free google drive client for Linux this project should work ( I used it to sync my google drive files while in school) https://github.com/odeke-em/drive

The last option I've found is Drive, a github project by Odeke-em with a name that certainly made it difficult to find. It seems like it may be the best option, but it looks difficult to set up and its wiki is broken.

For Google Drive, this is a good client: https://github.com/odeke-em/drive as is https://github.com/prasmussen/gdrive

I use this https://github.com/odeke-em/drive

- drive

i've used this on macos and linux with great success: https://github.com/odeke-em/drive

Cyberduck: a cloud storage browser for Mac and Windows.

Yes. You can choose exactly what you want to upload. The easiest way to do that is with a client program like Cyberduck (free) or Cloudberry Explorer ($).

The developers for Cyberduck have their source open on github (https://github.com/iterate-ch/cyberduck) but the app does ask for a donation whenever you close it. I've found this to be the most reliable and the ease of use is incredible for a layperson.

Only issue is that it's only available on Windows or OSX.

Hope that helps!

CyberDuck

Which version of Cyberduck are you using? There was at least one bug associated with performance in Cyberduck 8.5.8 and 8.5.9. Since 8.6.0 isn't yet available, you might want to consider going back to 8.5.7.

You could try Cyberduck, I use it as a replacement for the Google Drive and Dropbox clients, it works with OneDrive as well.
