I'm currently seeking to replace webapps in my workflow with a desktop ones, as want to rely less on my browser and to expand battery life. As far as I know, for google drive there was "grive", but its' upstream is dead and no rpm can be found in reliable sources. So, maybe anyone know good google-drive client that can be found in any fedora repos, maybe even copr?
Now we just need two instructions:
dnf copr enable sergiomb/google-drive-ocamlfuse
dnf install google-drive-ocamlfuse
Old instructions, as root:
dnf copr search opam
dnf copr enable jonludlam/opam
dnf install opam
dnf install ncurses-devel fuse-devel curl-devel sqlite-devel zlib-devel m4
as user:
opam init --comp=4.02.1
opam config env
opam install google-drive-ocamlfuse
~/.opam/4.02.1/bin/google-drive-ocamlfuse
mkdir /home/sergio/gdrive
~/.opam/4.02.1/bin/google-drive-ocamlfuse /home/sergio/gdrive
is working on Fedora23
As for @hhlp request, I'm including the instraction to install the MEGA sync client
get your client from https://mega.nz/#sync
e.g https://mega.nz/linux/MEGAsync/Fedora_23/x86_64/megasync-Fedora_23.x86_64.rpm
install the client with dnf
# dnf install ./megasync-Fedora_23.x86_64.rpm
Then you use the GUI to finish the setup process.
http://rclone.org/ looks good , but I haven't test it yet .
dnf copr search rclone
peem/rclone-rpm : packaging of rclone (http://rclone.org)
eclipseo/rclone : Rclone is a command line program to sync files and directories to and from various cloud services.
jmv1/RcloneBrowser : Simple cross platfrom GUI for rclone command line tool. Supports Windows, macOS and GNU/Linux.
madsa/tools : Misc. tools packages
Depending on how you use Google Drive rclone might be worth a look. I use it to sync a local folder on my laptop, I have had pretty good luck with it. Also supports other cloud services.
I'm actually using google-drive by simply configuring Gnome settings, in fedora 23 (Gnome 3.18.2).
By adding your google account in settings>online accounts you must be able to access to drive directly in nautilus. Don't know if it can be useful.
There is a program called "Insync". While I have not personally used it I heard from few people how good and reliable it is so maybe it's worth to give it a try. For me, big downside is that you need to pay for it $20 per year :-(
I think you can use gnome environment to connect your google account works very well on gnome nautilus.

If you not fixed on gdrive, you should try MEGA. more space and a native Linux client.
@Rabin make us a favor, fill an answer with step procedure to install MEGA.. regards.,
As of today, there is no good client for Fedora 21/22 to integrate Google Drive in Gnome. (Commercial clients aside, haven't tried any of those).
