I Have been doing some reading on google drive clients (that sync). Most applications / posts are outdated or very inactive.

After comparing some i went for odrive & vgrive but both don't work.

  1. odrive:

On first start pops up login for google but it complains that the browser is not secure enough (it is a web browser in the pop up itself)

  1. vgrive:

I get it up and running and it seems to start syncing, but when i look at the files content its some error message that their are to many queries to the google api's and that for security reasons its blocked.

Does anyone know how i can get them up and running or has a good and secure and free alternative?

Also some alternative idea i had: Ubuntu has a build in mapping to google drive (not syncing) could i use a normal syncing tool that syncs this mapped folder with a normal folder?

I would prefer to have a client software that does all the work.

    Insync (https://www.insynchq.com/) works, but it costs $ – Organic Marble Jun 24 '20 at 18:32

    Not so much a client but I use google-drive-ocamlfuse with mountpoints so my Google drive is pretty much just like any other local directory. Then I use rsync scripts to sync/backup folders/data. https://github.com/astrada/google-drive-ocamlfuse I have not tried Ubuntu google drive map with rsync but that might work too. – codlord Jun 24 '20 at 18:34

  • @codlord, i would prefer some straight forward app that does this. but i can use this as a backup idea. Thnks! – Gerrit Geeraerts Jun 24 '20 at 18:58
