I just installed Juno 5.0 x64 and I was wondering how to sync my Google Drive on my laptop.
I've tried some methods but there was no success. :( I've searched here for this question, but they were for older versions.
Please help me I am so a beginner in Linux I am so desperate :D
Thank you!
I also tried some "scripting solutions" but finally I came to Insync. It's not free but in my opinion it's worth its prize. Maybe you will give it a try.
Overgrive, also not fee, but it's only $5 and it works really well- https://www.thefanclub.co.za/overgrive
solution 😁 Google Drive GUI for Windows / Mac / Linux
As already suggested by Milos you can use

The only problem I found was with the indicator in the wingpanel. You can resotre it following this guide: https://github.com/mdh34/elementary-indicators
Juno doesn't support anymore 3rd party application indicator as described in this closed issue: https://github.com/elementary/wingpanel/issues/96
Try grive2. https://github.com/vitalif/grive2
It is command line but easy to use. there is a quick howto on installing and using it on Ubuntu based distros like elementary at this link:

I have it working on my Elementary Os Juno release-juno desktop right now.
I have found OverGrive works the best and it is only about $5.
I used
apt-get install install gnome-shell`
(Backup your /home and or don't do this on a machine you really need. This might bork your install.)
I had to use fix install sudo apt-get install -f, because of the dependencies.
Choose gdm over lightdm when prompted using your up and down arrow keys and enter.
On reboot chose gnome or Ubuntu gnome and setup Google in Accounts under Settings.
Open Applications, then gnome files and then get your google drive.
Open Applications, then elementary files make sure it is there too.
Reboot, and thereafter always use Pantheon at the gdm login and files will have your drive.
It is ugly. You may get apt-get update complaining that /etc/apt/sources.list has everything configured multiple times.
(You can probably delete the *.saved files? Comment out universe and/or multiverse lines with a #?) But on the bright side you will have all of the gnome apps after adding Gnome- plus your Google Drive.
