Grive: Open Source Google Drive Client For Linux

Thank you. When the "DriveForLinux" grumbling and whining started, my response was simple: "Since when do we whine about things and not just do it ourselves?" The response I got back was mostly "because [insert excuse]."<p>I'm not in a position where I could've done this (openly), or helped. (Contributing to open source is in a contractually grey area for me... may become my employer's property, so I avoid it. [Yeah, yeah, because [insert excuse] ;) ] So I'm happy to see somebody step up and do something. Sure, it's not full-service. But it works.<p>So again, thank you to those responsible. Maybe now El Goog will decide to release their Drive client for Linux.

It's cute. It builds easily (albeit with cmake, sigh...). It's a single binary. The usage is straightforward if a little primitive (run it in a directory and it will sync that directory to the cloud).<p>It's very much not dropbox, but it's not bad.

Open source...interesting...so one could jam an encryption layer in between. Make use of the free storage w/o privacy &#38; security issues.

A FUSE filesystem interface would be the best, so you can mount it
