Hi there! This is quite the annoying issue how programs (like btiwig now or many others before) handle the google drive that is connected to my explorer. In Ubuntu, Fedora and now Mint, many programs do not display my google drive when i want to save my projects or open files and stuff like that.

What is you approach on working with cloud storage or network drives? Or is there a solution, like different explorer or account handler? Thanks, I really how anyone can help :)

The tool providing you with access to that Google Drive has not made the storage space available in any way that can be used by the rest of the system.

The problem lies with that tool, not any application or operating system.

I’d be surprised if there’s not a better tool that uses “fuse” to access Google Drive.

There’s an ocaml-based one, apparently ( github.com/astrada/google-drive-ocamlfuse ), although it isn’t all that user-friendly. I’d assume that there are probably others, somewhere.

Rclone does what I want, for the most part.

How do you have rclone set up? I thought I had it working but it’s turned out to be way more complex than I initially thought!
