There isn’t, as I understand it, a “system tray” applet for this tool. That’s swell if you’re an elementary OS user, less swell if you’re on a more widely used Linux desktop or distro like Ubuntu. Secondly, as mentioned, the app is “designed” for elementary OS. However, there are a few drawbacks versus other comparable methods.įirstly, VGrive does not “integrate” with the Nautilus file manager used on Ubuntu, nor Nemo (Linux Mint), Caja (Ubuntu MATE) and others.
This is handy if you want to sync your files to a removable device or another exotic location on you system. It is said to automatically detect changes in local and remote files so that it only syncs files when required.Īs any good cloud storage app should, VGrive also lets you pick the exact local folder to sync your cloud files to. VGrive (though referred to as ‘egrive’ within the UI) is pitched as a Google Drive client (both back-end and front-end) that offers a “clean and minimalist GUI”. you should only expect it work well on that distro, it may look terrible outside of it - the app author does provide an installer for Ubuntu, Linux Mint and other distros. It’s called VGrive and although it is “designed for elementary OS” - i.e. Reader Jena mailed in to tell me about a (somewhat) new Google Drive client for Linux desktop built in Vala.
GOODSYNC GOOGLE DRIVE FREE
Some, like InSync 3, are paid software, others, like ODrive, are open source and free to use.īut all of them more or less do the same thing: sync files to and from your Google Drive on your Linux machine, with as little fuss as possible. With Google not providing an official one, there’s no shortage of unofficial Google Drive clients for Linux.
