How to Getting Started With Google Drive on Ubuntu-Based Systems

Google Drive Client Ubuntu Setup – Step-by-step Guide

Hi! The Tutorial shows you Step-by-Step How to Getting-Started with Google Drive Docs Sync Client on GNU/Linux Ubuntu-based Desktops.

Google Drive Features:

• Powerful Search: Recognizing Objects in Images and Text in Scanned Docs!
• View Anything: View Over 31 File Types right in your Browser.
• Work Offline: you can turn on Google Drive Offline to Create and Edit.
• Chat, Discuss & Mentions: Add a “+” in front of an email address in a comment and Drive will send them an email so they know to follow up.
• Go back in time with Revision History: Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides automatically save and track every change you make, forever.

The Google Drive account will be accessible only on the Nautilus File Manager that will be automatically installed in the Non GNOME Desktops.

Especially relevant: CURRENTLY THIS CLIENT IS NOT SUPPORTING THE GOOGLE DRIVE POLICIES.
