Oh boy! I need to have everything setup so that I can conveniently and easily access shared folders from Google Drive on Linux. What's that? I have to pay $30 for a third party solution because Google only releases the desktop app for Mac and Windows?
What is even the point of Google's use of Linux if you can't use it with Linux?!
Lol. Maybe I should install Chrome OS Flex.
Naaaaaaaah!
The default drive app was pretty annoying anyway because they don't sync files for shared folders the way they used to. I can still access them on Windows just fine. I can even make backups. No sweat. but also if I have an outage I can't access that file anymore : /
Just, why?
@Moondancer0X rclone may seem daunting at first with it being a CLI app but it's actually very simple to use. Pretty much hand-holding experience thanks to the configuration wizard.
In any case, if Insync or any other isn't to your liking, give rclone a try. There are many GUI for it out there. Most notably RcloneBrowser or even its built-in web GUI.

I don't use rclone for Gdrive but I use it for my OneDrive which I setup a simple read-only sync for my comics server.
@AH3GA0 I'll have to check this out later. What'll really make or break it for me is if I can properly access and modify the shared folders I have editor privs on.
Anyway, thank you!
