From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hi there! This is quite the annoying issue how programs (like btiwig now or many others before) handle the google drive that is connected to my explorer. In Ubuntu, Fedora and now Mint, many programs do not display my google drive when i want to save my projects or open files and stuff like that.

What is you approach on working with cloud storage or network drives? Or is there a solution, like different explorer or account handler? Thanks, I really how anyone can help :)

The tool providing you with access to that Google Drive has not made the storage space available in any way that can be used by the rest of the system.

The problem lies with that tool, not any application or operating system.

I'd be surprised if there's not a better tool that uses "fuse" to access Google Drive.

Rclone does what I want, for the most part.
