Youre married to a specific corpo shit thing that is shit and specifically does not support Linux, on purpose. Google is fighting you, they are making this hard. And your ux (probably gnome or KDE) is what looks like it has the solution here. Try that instead of acting like a libchild. Dual boot or whatever til you find a thing that works (windows updates gave been known to kill dual boots partitioned on same physical drive)

And the reason to switch isn't because it's 'so easy'. I made a kind of linger post somewhere in this thread on it.

Like I said, I'm well aware this is mostly because Google refuses to make a Linux client. Also the UX solutions you mentioned are ones I've already looked at and they don't actually sync the files, which is what I need. The one program (Insync) that actually seems to do this is not FOSS and costs $40 per account

And it looks like there are Linux tools that do what6ou want, integrated into at least the two major UX's.
