I've been using Grive in Ubuntu 14.10, but after the upgrade to Ubuntu 15.10 the Google Drive app has been uninstalled automatically. How can I get it working again?

  • I have tried the above link. Still does not work. Please offer other option – Sasi Kumaran Feb 03 '16 at 09:25
  • Please try to expand a little what you've been using exactly. And have you also tried new forks mentioned in comments, etc. (e.g. https://github.com/odeke-em/drive) as it seems the old grive no longers works because Google changed its API. – Sadi Feb 03 '16 at 09:40

You need to install it again, it happened to me too. Follow the steps on webupd8 about installing, giving permission and syncing:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install grive

Run in terminal:

sudo su -c "nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/thefanclub*.list"

add line:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/thefanclub/grive-tools/ubuntu vivid main

Then update package list:

sudo apt-get update

And install Google Drive:

sudo apt-get install grive-tools
