drive VS gdrive

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

One more suggestion. Ideally you could use this tool orAPI https://github.com/prasmussen/gdrive to make list of all file ID (not filename). Then write a script to download ONE file at a time and upload it. That way files-with-duplicated-names are also uploaded.

You can use inotify-tools to watch for specific file and directory changes, then perform actions using a synchronization API. See also https://github.com/prasmussen/gdrive.

OK well the line that is printing the progress bar is line 100 in this file https://github.com/prasmussen/gdrive/blob/master/drive/progress.go

I know of prasmussen/gdrive, it works fine for the few things I do with it; though the last update seems to be more than one year old.

I have tried downloading the Source and gdrive_2.1.1_linux_amd64.tar.gz. When I try to extract with tar, the resulting file is not a folder in the latter case - I believe it is a binary file, but I am not sure what to do with that. In the former case, I do get a folder, but when I run "./configure" within this folder, I get:

I've just tried github.com/prasmussen/gdrive but unfortunately there's no support for shared drives.

Just use google drive. https://github.com/prasmussen/gdrive

Yeah a malware signature isn't my concern. What if the docs are re uploaded to another cloud service behind the scenes? I can monitor all that traffic manually or just skim your app's source code to gain that trust. I mean that's how you likely trusted the gdrive project you're using underneath!
