Asked By CuriousCat87 On

I've been using Windows for a long time, and I've gotten really used to how seamlessly Google Drive integrates with Windows File Explorer. It allows me easy access to my files from different devices, making my workflow smooth and efficient.

Now that I'm making the switch to Linux (specifically Parrot OS), I'm having a tough time finding a way to get that same level of integration with Google Drive in my file manager. I want to set it up so that I can effortlessly access and manage my Google Drive files just like I did back on Windows. Any suggestions or tools that can help with this?

For KDE users, you can check out KIO GDrive which is designed for managing Google Drive within the KDE environment. You can find more details on their community page if you're interested!

You might want to try Rclone for syncing Google Drive with your local folder. It works pretty well, although you'll need to set it up through the terminal at first. Once you get past that initial setup, it's super flexible for managing cloud storage on Linux.

If you’re using GNOME, Google Drive can be integrated straight into the Files app via GNOME Online Accounts. I'm not exactly sure where it's mounted in the filesystem, but it should be accessible. That could give you the seamless access you're looking for.
