Launched in 2012, Google Drive can be easily accessed in Windows system, Android and iOS but Google is yet to announce an official client for Linux desktops to access your files in Google Drive. http://fyllsp.xtgem.com/Blog/__xtblog_entry/19204062-convert-mov-to-mp4-mac-freeware#xt_blog. But there may tools available in Linux that allows you to easily access Google Drive. Adobe picture editor.

Google

We've written before how easy it is to access Google Drive on Ubuntu (or any GNOME-toting Linux) thanks to GNOME Online Accounts and Nautilus.

Download battle net installer. But power users of Google's cloud storage service say they're less than impressed with the performance of that go-to gvfs (Gnome Virtual File System) approach.

So here's an alternative way to use Google Drive on Linux using google-drive-ocamlfuse.

Save that above code as googledown.bat and download the wget and sed from above (rename sed-4.8-x64.exe to sed.exe) and place them all in a folder. Add that folder up to the system/user environment path. Once done, googledown can be executed from anywhere, provided the place it's executed from has cookies.txt From there, just run this command. Brief: While Google Drive is not officially available for Linux, here are tools to help you use Google Drive in Linux. Google Drive is an integral part of the Google ecosystem. It offers 15 GB of free storage which is shared across your Gmail account, Google Photos, various Google and Android services. Apr 29, 2020 InSync is a commercial Google Drive application that runs on Linux, Windows, and macOS. This application is also paid software and will cost you $30 after a 15 day free trial. It does have a few extra features the official Google Drive client doesn't offer on Windows and macOS, including support for multiple Google accounts. See full list on techrepublic.com.

This method has all the same benefits of the GOA approach, but is (in my testing, at least) more performant meaning the reward more than outweighs the initial outlay of effort.

Google Drive Ocamlfuse

Google-drive-ocamlfus is a FUSE-based file system powered by Google Drive. It lets you mount your Google Drive on Linux so that you can access your files and folders, either via the command line or through a traditional GUI file manager, like Nautilus, Nemo or Caja.

You can interact with these files directly. Open them. Edit them. Delete them. Free pic editing software.

Double-clicking on, for example, an image will open it in the default image viewer:

A Note on What This Isn't

How To Make The Most Out Of Google Drive On GNOME(TechRepublic)

With thus FUSE method all your Google Drive files remain remote. If your internet connection dips out, so does access to files you haven't made local copies of.

But what it does allow you to open most files in local apps and write changes to the file direct to Google Drive. Think of it this as a remote USB thumb drive: you can copy, edit, write and open files while it's attached.

Install Google Drive Ocamlfuse

Google Drive Ocamlfuse is available to install on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and up by using the following dedicated PPA:

Arch Linux users can install google-drive-ocamlfuse from AUR.

How to use Google Drive Ocamlfuse

With the install complete you can go ahead and set up the app to work with your Google Drive account. While there isn't a fancy-pants GUI front-end for setting things up don't feel put. GDO is super simple to use via the CLI.

To get started run the app from the command line using this command:

The first time you do this the utility will create all the relevant config files and folders it needs to mount your Google Drive account. It will also launch your default web browser so that you sign in and authorize access to your Google Drive files.

Sign in with your Google username and password and, when the screen above appears, grant the utility permission to access your files and folders.

That's it; you're pretty much good to go!

All that's left is to create an empty folder in which to mount Google Drive on your system.

Once created go ahead and mount it there by running this command:

Pop open Nautilus (or whichever modern file manager you use) and you will see your Google Drive mount listed in the sidebar as a device.

When you're finished editing, adding or copying files you can unmount the fuse filesystem with this command:

You can try to unmount it using the eject button you'll see in Nautilus, Nemo, etc but this won't work; you'll get a permissions error.
