From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Is it possible to use Google Drive reliably? (lemmy.ml)

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?

If you use GNOME DE you go to the online accounts dialog, click Google and setup with your credentials, it adds GDrive to Nautilus, integrates gmail and calendar into evolution client.

Are applications able to write directly to the directory this mounts to? Could Codium add this folder?

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 7 points 10 months ago

It shows in the Mounts section of nautilus, for apps that don't recognize that you may have to go to /run/media/username/mount if it doesn't show up in the Other section of file pickers
