Is there an equivalent to Google Drive in Windows for KDE?
I’m talking full synchronization of my Google Drive files into a local folder.
I know there’s the KDE KIO Worker that can integrate with Dolphin, but according to itsfoss.com:
Each time you try to modify a file, it is copied to a local cache directory. Once you finish modifying a file, it prompts for uploading the modified file to GDrive.
There’s RClone that can do that I think, but I’m not certain. And it looks a bit complicated to set up.
What are you recommendations?
KDE has the ability to connect to Google account, in the system settings. Than you can use Dolphin to handle your Google Drive as if it was a network drive. Unfortunately, sometimes it wont let you login, so try it yourself
Yeah that’s what I was referring to in my post. The KDE KIO thing. It’s not exactly what I’m looking for.
I want the files to be accessible locally and to sync with the cloud when there are changes both ways.
That is exactly what
kio-gdrivedoes. Is it not working for you?No that’s not what Kio-gdrive does at all.
It allows you to access your files as a network drive. It downloads the file you open into a cache when you open it and sends it back when you edit it.
I want a solution where the files are physically on my local drive and are synched when there are changes.
True.
The NextCloud/OwnCloud integration does this. I am not aware of a similar solution for Google Drive.

That is _exactly_ what kio-gdrive does. If it is not working for you, there is an error in your configuration or a bug in your distro’s packaging of the software.
Sorry. I think I may have not expressed what I meant properly.
I want all the files to be physically present on my local drive and then to sync whenever there’s a change. I want them to be accessible even if offline.
I don’t think that’s what Kio-gdrive does. Unless I’m mistaken.
