Sync local folder with google drive

Hello.
I'm looking for a way to synchronize a local folder on my freshly installed gadura/cinnamon laptop with my google drive.
i've read about the lnsync app but it isn't a freeware :frowning:

finger crossed

regards

Hi there, welcome.
Insync is in our chaotic-aur repo.
I don't use it, but I definitely think it's free...

it's free to download and install but after 15 days you have to open the wallet :laughing:

Ok, so, before anyone using Google drive gives a reliable answer, I can only suggest giving a look in the aur.
This is a simple search.

You may want to give a look.
E g. grive seems to have good votes.

just found gosync-git .
A python freeware that might do the trick.
I'll give it a try.
:thinking:

Maybe consider also the suggestions in the Arch wiki

Not to sure how comfortable you are with the command line?

You could use https://rclone.org/ and if you prefer GUI you can use it with RcloneBrowser | Simple cross platform GUI for rclone. Supports macOS, GNU/Linux, BSD family and Windows.

If you want automated syncing then you'd need to create a script and a cronjob to schedule regular syncs

Edit oops I didn't see it listed in the URL above
