How to Run Google Drive in Linux File System

While everyone is still waiting for an official way to get Google Drive onto Linux, there are at least ways around it.

The easiest of these is the GNOME method:

  • Run the command “sudo apt install gnome-online-accounts”
  • Once it’s installed, run the command “gnome-control-center online-accounts” (this launches the “Online Accounts” window)
  • Click “Google
  • Log in to your Google account
  • Scroll to the bottom of the pop-up and click “Allow
  • Your Google Drive folder will now be accessible through your regular file manager!
