sync part of my google drive

Question

I'm new to Ubuntu (I hope I'll survive with the apps limitations).

I'm looking for way/client (Free) to sync with some directories of my Google drive, is it possible?

I found some clients (e.g. insync) but you should pay for their service. Also, the other available apps, you won't be allowed to sync part of Drive (only the whole directory).

You can mount Google Drive on Ubuntu using ocamlfuse via Nautilus.
But this does not provide syncing

GUI Sync tool:
Open source GUI tool for GDrive sync : ODrive
There is a snap package for Odrive sudo snap install odrive
Dunno if you can select a specific drive folder for sync

CLI Tool:
Open source CLI tool for clouds rsync : RClone
RClone usage for Google Drive: https://rclone.org/drive/
It can select a specific drive folder for sync

ODrive will not work because of https://github.com/liberodark/ODrive/issues/147 . Full GUI sync with tray-icon is possible with Wine. – N0rbert Dec 29 '19 at 08:18
@N0rbert ODrive dev team will find a fix as RClone did. Wine must be aged in casks – cmak.fr Dec 29 '19 at 12:23
