Sync Google DRIVE in Linux Using Rclone 

Thank you, it is a great resource. I wanted to sync a local folder to a shared folder on Google Drive and use the local fodler as a vault in Obisidian. This is exactly what I needed: it's free, you can pull the remote vault and you can push your updates, then everything is visible on other devices synced to the GD as well. A note: it might go without saying, but I was rather puzzled for the first time. If you want to use this to have a local, persisted copy of your GD folder, you only want to create the download and upload tasks. You definitely don't want to mount the remote folder to your local one. Otherwise, your "local files" are going to be gone upon restart.

Wow this was awesome I was bit intimidated by the long length of the video but every minute was so worth it. Thank you so much.

I discovered this channel a few days before, and I find the way information is present here very helpful but most importantly, well documented. It's great how complicated tasks are done easily and seemingly effortless. Thak you!

Never bothered working with rsync/rclone that much, but lately it's become more relevant when years of configuration and tinkering dispears due to computer failure, whish force me starting over from scratch. I'll shall consider setting this up.

Excelent tutorial. I wish every linux tutorial was like this, the adoption rate would be much higher.

Thanks for the video. Rclone browser really helped a lot more than the termial experience of rclone. It was easier to navigate and explained in a crystal clear way which made quite a difference.

Very solid introduction, considering all typical use cases and everyday tasks. I like the hands-on approach, makes me want to jump right into the action. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks a lot bro. Really needed that Video to sync my Obsidian notes stored on my google cloud. Really Appreciated

Thank you very much. This was the one thing I missed in Linux and now not anymore. You are very clear as a teacher!

Love the video. A simple and straightforward introduction to Rclone for new users. Also, it might be interesting to look at in a future video but there's a community spin of MX Linux called AVL-MXE geared towards video and audio recording.

You're a absolut god, thanks for that. My obsidian is now usable across plataforms

This is exactly what I needed. Awesome as usual. Thanks!

I like your videos. I also use MX Linux KDE. Recently I have unsubscribed from DistroTube and Chris Titus Tech because they are gibberish talk. But you have useful and in-depth tutorials and videos. Good job sir 👍

Excellent video Thank you for sharing your knowledge easy ...

thank you, did not know there a was a straightforward GUI to rlcone

Thanks Staempunk!! FYI...ID of root folder setting is now in advanced config. Once you paste in your URL snippet to that setting, you can keep hitting enter to zoom through the remaining crapload of default configs until it asks you to enter again which the default is no!

Awesome tutorial dude thanks! Only thin I would like to add is that when you remove the gnome-control-center it uninstalls the ubuntu-settings, but that is for ubuntu users of course.

NICE! As a side note the version of rclone-browser you used is in the Ubuntu repos.

Thank you so much for this video. Very precise and to the point. Like your way of demonstrating things. Quality content.

Amazing video! You are excellent at giving simple yet thorough instructions. The setting "Sync: Delete during transfer" wories me a bit. Why not select Copy? Thank you!

Thanks for all the helpful videos, great quality, easy to follow and helping me out with all my IT hurdles!!!

Hmm.. Nice! Actually best video iv seen on rclone thus far. I think your next video should be on how the sync can be automated with crontab?

Thank You for making this Awesome Tutorial....Really Helped ME as Lot

Precisely what I need

I appreciate the effort of each step! I've used Linux for years but I'm not a power-user [yet!] and I wouldn't have considered checking for forks for newer versions, thank you! Also when your Key-bind combos come up, is that edited in post or is there a program that will announce when you use keyboard shortcuts?

Excellent content and awesome demo, thanks!

Tremendously awesome video. Top presentation, to the point, just great. Would love to see a version where this is all done in the command line, no gui, no rclone browser, and googledrive is mounted to a folder which is navigated to using some terminal file browser like mc, or nnn. ***************************************** PS. You would know better than I do, but I would personally avoid (what appears to me to be) somewhat unvetted github forks. Rclone browser as vetted and approved by debian community pulls straight through apt, and I was able to do everything you described in this video on whatever that stock version is.

Very informative and detailed video, but still down to the point without unnecessary blabla. Followed this tutorial step by step and it worked like a charm. One question that wasn't addressed: How can I automate the tasks? In an ideal world I wouldn't want to manually execute the Sync Download/Upload tasks in order to sync my offline folder. Can this be automated to run every X minutes when I'm connected to a wifi?

Nice sharing video👍

Excellent stuff, thanks for the walkthrough!

Never heard of this repo. Thaks a lot for the video.

nice video, very detailed and useful. thank u. but i need to say this how all these big tech companies ignore linux and we linux users trying to solve very basic tasks with lots of efforts. why there can't be official google drive client for linux ?

One change in rClone, since this video was last made, is that the option for Google Drive is now 18, rather than 17.

Thank You So Much ❤ Sir, I was able to mount one drive using rclone

Fantastic video. Thankyou for sharing, was so easy to follow.

Excellent walkthrough!

Excellent video. Thank you.

has anyone used the gui that is built in or whatnot the browser hasn't been updated in ages

bro, you're awesome. Thank you very much!

Brilliant! Excellent explaining video..

u r the mx god

This is an excellent video, thank you. Question: Can you automate the sync function versus creating jobs? It would be great if the files would sync automatically. Thoughts?

So you always have to press download or upload just to sync changes? How about for mount unless you unmount it does it automatically reflect changes from drive to pc and vice versa?

Thanks. I'LL be giving this a go.

Thank you very much.

EXCELLENT Tutorial !

Terrific! Thanks!

Thsi is the video what I need thak you sir.

Awesome video, to he point and precise Do we have something similar for google photos

Thank you!!

I have two questions 1) I can't open the files as it says "the lock file could not be created for exclusive access by LibreOffice due to missing permission to create a lock file on that file location or lack of free disk space", why am I seeing this? 2) Am I supposed to manually download all the files I need to interact with? It seems tedious and counter-intuitive

RClone alone is working also fine with (in my case PCManFM-Qt). Fu....k the google-drive-ocamlfuse, i spend 4h with this trying to set up, with not succerss. RClone works as is should work. Thx !

Thanks, man. you saved my day😁

Excellent!

How we install install Online Account on kali linux

Very Good

Hi Mr. Staempunk, what does 'delete after transfering' mean? Thanks a lot

Good video! Thank you! God bless you!

thank you so much

can u make it as back up tool?? like auto run download sync every month ?

I was too fast. I have problem with open files when i see in file explorer. This is normal ? Can upload and download task do automatically once user change a file ?

Unfortunately, my google account seems to forbid the use of 3rd party software -_- : when running "rclone mount ......" I get googleapi: Error 403: The domain administrators have disabled Drive apps., domainPolicy

thanks dude

bro I'm facing copyright issue. On my drive I have movies. Showing me everything except movies how can I solve this ?

I cant register rclone within Google drive, it seems not possible since end of May 23

Brother, are these files that are deleted after doing, for example, "download from drive" saved somewhere? I accidentally deleted some and I want to know if I can recover them

Great video! Is there anyway of combining the offline availability of the files via tasks with the automatic syncing of mount? It seems like it is one or the other: auto sync but lose access when you disconnect, or have offline access but need to manually sync.

What about mounting google drive to a linux SERVER?

Can you use this to sync your computer to your phone like syncthing?

hi! thx for the video. RClone could do the sync task automatically as Drive for Desktop do?

What password manager do you use in ur browser?

Is there any option within Rclone to schedule tasks?

I will continue with Dropbox

Nice ., :-):-)

hi! how can i do it in win 10?

Until this point, i rather stay on windows 10

This is really helpful 🫡
