Google Drive in Hyprland

Hypr_newbie · December 6, 2024, 5:39am

Hi, I’ve been using Dragonized edition for a couple years now and I decided I want to try Hyprland! It is really cool and I like it a lot but I am having one real issue with it. I can’t seem to log in to google drive in the file system! I like having googledrive integrated so that it is easier to save my freecad files across devices.

I googled it and found some solutions for thunar file manager, and I attempted these but they didn’t seem to work very well (including Rclone!). I decided that it worked great with dolphin on kde, so it should work here right?

So I installed dolphin and kio-gdrive, and it almost works. the issue is that when I click on “add new account” to add my google drive account, it doesn’t open firedragon to sign in. It just stays on that screen.

So my questions are: is there a way to get it to open the browser so I can sign in? Is there a better way of doing this entirely? Is this just not a thing in hyprland?

Hopefully I’m being dumb and there is an easy way to resolve this!

P.S. I’m sure there is a request open for it already, but hyprland should use dolphin by default!

Thanks, any advice would be nice!

Hello ,

can you please give us output of garuda-inxi from terminal as it was said in template

can you tell us which solutions ?

maybe , google things work well with only google products , install some other browsers too like chrome or brave to check if it wants to open google chrome or something else other firedragon

or maybe the default might be different , which you can check through this :

 cat ~/.config/hypr/hyprstart

Yes , it was thought when we were working on it, but soon we got to know that dolphin sometimes doesn’t work properly and we changed to thunar.

Anyways it is easy to use dolphin instead of thunar , you just need to install it .

I tried ocamlfuse and rclone. Ocamlfuse just didn’t work (although I may have messed something up, I’m definitely a newbie to this stuff). Rclone was quite the process to set up, you need to make an api with google. I didn’t really want to do that so that is when I had the idea of trying dolphin file manager.

So I tried this with vivaldi first and it didn’t work, so then I tried it with google chrome and it still didn’t work . I even set it to my default browser but still nothing.

overall I think the issue is that kio-gdrive either can’t open the browser, or it can’t find the browser. somewhere in there is a miscommunication.

Thanks for the Reply!
