Last time I tried Linux there was no native Google Drive application and none of the third party ones worked properly to sync my files. Has that changed at all?? Don't tell me to stop using Google Drive I'm locked in for work
I have no clue; I don't touch that corpo garbage, but if there's not and yyou can't, and wine doesn't work:
Run a windows (or android? Android seems lighter) VM, give it no permissions it doesn't need, sandbox the fuck out of it, then sync from there.
Edit: quick search reveals likeliest solutions are tied into the ux... Thingies, forget what they're called. Like KDE and gnome. Try the one for yours; gnome and KDE generally have their shit together.
The constant tension between "Try Linux! It's so easy" and a reply like this
I know this is mostly Google's fault, but I just can't switch if doing this is required to run a program I need to use daily
Sorry, this made me have to hold back my laughter so much on the train that I repeatedly snorted. EVERY LINUX SOLUTION REPLY IS LIKE THIS.
