Google Drive in Linux
Google Drive in Linux is really a pain. Because there is no Linux support from official Google Drive, but only Windows and Mac. In order to use Google Drive to synchronise to the local computer like Dropbox, I have tried several solutions. None of them is satisfying, yet Grive is the best among them so far.
Insync
In Linux, there are some solutions as mentioned in Wikipedia and also Arch Wiki: google-drive-ocamlfuse, Insync, and Grive. In the perspective of usability, Insync is the best, because it provides easy GUI to setup the synchronisation. Yet, the drawback is the 15 days trial only. This is seriously impracticable for a free and open source supporter. If there is any other solution, surely the user will tend to the solution.
