No official Google Drive client is available. But, you have good alternative methods and tools to use it on Linux!

I’m soon going to transition to full Kubuntu and remove Windows from my PC. I’ve been looking for alternatives to a lot of the stuff I use and this one was a bit problematic. Or so I thought.

I’m also going to migrate from Google to Proton at the same time and it looks like some of these tools support Proton Drive as well!

    What do you mean? There’s literally an integration with GDrive in Gnome and KDE.

      These integrations have big limitations which I would consider deal breakers. To quote this blog post :

      ❌ Files are not stored on the local disk like a proper Cloud service app

      ❌ Cannot be used without internet

      That’s better than nothing, but definitely not a good option.

        For sure it could benefit from extra features like a watchdog that checks for any file changes and synchronizes when there is. Like the Windows tool.
