Hi,
Is there a recommended way to mount a google drive on Fedora 24?
I found these instructions online:
http://xmodulo.com/mount-google-drive-linux.html
(and they involve installing from some place else)
but I was wondering if there is something more recent and recommended for Fedora?
Many thanks and best wishes, Ranjan

I use insync (http://insynchq.com). It's non-free but works very well and a lifetime license is not expensive for non-commercial use. They have a Fedora repo.

I wanted to mention that I was able to install these fine, with some hiccups and further installation of software.
I can not however access my shared folders.
Any ideas as to how that can be done?
Many thanks, Ranjan

Assuming you are using Gnome, add your Google account using the Online Accounts section in Settings. One of the options on the right will be to enable Google Drive. If you turn that on, then Nautilus will have a shortcut to access your Drive files.

I tried that before installing Insync. It worked extremely poorly at the time but I haven't tried it again. Also, I don't use Gnome but IIRC the equivalent in KDE didn't work either. I don't remember details but it was bad enough to make me give up almost immediately.

Thanks! I don't use gnome but pekwm. I did get google-drive-ocamlfuse working but I have not yet been able to mount the shared folders. I can access the drive fine on the commandline (and also on spacefm which is my file-manager) but am not able to access the shared folders. I don't see them.
Is there something additional I have to do on the shared folders side in Google to make this accessible?
Many thanks and best wishes, Ranjan

I have no idea how shared folders work in this case. I really don't use Google Drive at all anyway.

Just FYI:

There is a package to be reviewed for F24, I rebuilt the src.rpm for F25 and it is working well.

Note that this is slightly different from Insync in that the latter keeps a local copy of selected Google Drive files and maintains synchronization between them, i.e. it takes up extra space on your local drive, similar to what the GD apps do on Windows and MacOS. I've often wished it didn't do that so I'll be interested in trying out this new entrant.

The F24 package is not at that site nor on Koji. Where did you see it?

That's right, it is under *review*
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1387669
I rebuilt the package for F25 to test it.

I don't know if my reading on this is correct, but FE-NEEDSPONSOR needs to be blocked. Does it not need to be unblocked to get sponsored.
I apologize if I am wrong here.
