Google Drive with Linux

Google drive dose not sync with a Linux OS.
To sync to my Manjaro OS so that I could use Cryptomator I used 'grive-tools’
https://mintguide.org/tools/11-install-grive-tools-14-in-ubuntu-and-linux-mint.html

I used ‘grive-tools’ from the Arch AUR repository and it works fine, now I can use
Cryptomator to sync files to Google Drive,
Hope this my help some one…

I’ve had success mounting Google Drive on Linux Mint 18.2 using google-drive-ocamlfuse. It’s available via Software Manager by searching for “google drive” or on GitHub: https://github.com/astrada/google-drive-ocamlfuse.

After mounting Google Drive through ocamlfuse, you can select the masterkey and use Cryptomator to encrypt and decrypt.

google-drive-ocamlfuse doesn’t work perfectly, and is slow, but it does work. I will try the ‘grive-tools’ as well to see how it compares.

I strongly recommend you to use ODrive client for Google Drive. https://github.com/liberodark/ODrive
