Google Drive Files Access on Debian
Hi! This tutorial will guide you step-by-step on How to Getting-Started to Sync / Access Google Drive Cloud Files on Debian GNU/Linux GNOME/Xfce/Lxde/Mate/Cinnamon/KDE Desktop.
Thanks to the new feature in Gnome 3.18+ Online Accounts is easy to have access to contents on the Google Drive and other Cloud Services.
Then to launch the administration tool of Online Accounts from desktops not GNOME / Unity will be necessary to make use of a Shell Command.
The Google Drive account will be accessible only on the Nautilus File Manager that will be automatically installed in the Non GNOME Desktops.
This an essential Zen guide that simply seeks to bring each user to the target in the easiest and quickest way.
Especially relevant: CURRENTLY THIS CLIENT IS NOT SUPPORTING THE GOOGLE DRIVE POLICIES.
