In this tutorial, I will describe how to mount Google Drive on Linux with google-drive-ocamlfuse. Using this user-space file system, you can mount your Google Drive account on Linux, and have full read/write access to files/folders stored in your Google Drive as if they were local files/folders. If you want to mount Google Drive on Linux, you can try google-drive-ocamlfuse ( gdfuse), which is a FUSE-based file system backed by Google Drive. As such, you cannot mount Google Drive using these tools. These clients are file synchronization tools which sync files and folders between local file system and remote Google Drive.
