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?
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.
