Is it possible to use Google Drive reliably?

maxprime@lemmy.ml to Linux@lemmy.ml – 56 points –

I've been using Google Drive in Windows for about a decade and have a good workflow. I recently transitioned to Linux but cannot seem to reliably connect my drive to the filesystem. My work provides unlimited Drive space and since it's for work I have shared directories with coworkers that I need access to every day. Hence, I'm kind of tied to GDrive.

Is there a reliable method of doing this? Rclone seems to be what I want but it seems to disconnect regularly, and often doesn't upload the changes I make which defeats the purpose.

Do Linux users just not use Drive?

Came here to say the same. Works pretty damn well too. I also have mine connected to a Nextcloud sever because I'm trying to ditch the big G

yeah, I am hoping thry add Proton Drive account to that list of online services

Seafile would be sick too, but very unlikely. They have a SeaDrive client, but it's not quite as nicely integrated as the Gnome stuff.

Yeah I have the seadrive setup also. But GNOME accounts is very well done
