I’ve been using Google Drive in Windows for about a decade and have a good workflow. I recently transitioned to Linux but cannot seem to reliably connect my drive to the filesystem. My work provides unlimited Drive space and since it’s for work I have shared directories with coworkers that I need access to every day. Hence, I’m kind of tied to GDrive.
Is there a reliable method of doing this? Rclone seems to be what I want but it seems to disconnect regularly, and often doesn’t upload the changes I make which defeats the purpose.
Do Linux users just not use Drive?
Can you open Drive files in Codium?
My guess is no, since the folder is a magical protocol address that I assume VScode/codium wouldn’t understand for they insist on handling the directory hierarchy directly. Haven’t really troubleshoot that workflow though. I use exclusively Git with GitHub/GitLab. So there’s no need for GDrive with an IDE for me. My Drive is exclusively for personal files which most other Linux-as-a-first-class-citizen applications (LibreOffice, PDF readers, photo viewers and editors) just use as the OS gives it to them without issue.
ADD: I would imagine there’s an additional complication depending on whether Codium is running from repository or Flatplak.
Yeah
Hmm. It’s not working in Manjaro for me. Is it as easy as just opening any other folder? I have Drive added in KDE and can see my files but I cannot add a folder from drive in Codium.
I’m not sure about kde sorry-- I’m using it in fedora w/gnome
