Best solution I've found that allows interacting with google drive files from any application and from the command line: https://github.com/astrada/google-drive-ocamlfuse
why not rclone?
The KIO GDrive module allows access to Google Drive from KDE apps like Dolphin.
@Successful_Try543 @cyborganism @thelinuxEXP IDK if this is what we look for but it surely helps, we are looking for an official client, well, this is as close as it can get
Works great with the built in Gnome connector, no idea about how to do that in KDE
It has native support in most desktops. With that being said there are serious privacy concerns
Why do you say that? Can you elaborate?
About what? The privacy issues or the ease of use
Privacy issues
It is Google
It isn't private in the least. Everything you store there and all you network metadata is being used for targeted advertising and AI training.
Well yeah. Using Google is a privacy issue.
Your comment made it sound like it's a privacy concern that there's a plug-in in Gnome or KDE or that there are apps that use the Google drive API, which is not the case. It's not even code that's developed by Google.
It is still bad for privacy. You can't just enter a username and password as you need oauth
