The main cloud services don’t even work natively (GoogleDrive, OneDrive, iCloud) basically the only mainstream choice is Dropbox. I tried to use Google Drive in Mint, and it’s a pain to get it to work, and usually it stops working after computer restarts.

Someone has a recommendation about how to handle these services?

  • I went to Online Accounts, clicked the add button, logged in to Google, Microsoft, and NextCloud, and everything just worked.

    How well it works depends on the distro and setup you pick. I’ve never really had trouble with Gnome’s setup and I believe KDE has a very good setup flow as well. I don’t know what Mint/Cinnamon does different.

    This is the setup flow I’ve gone through, but in Gnome instead of Cinnamon: https://linuxhint.com/mount_google_drive_linux_mint/

    If that doesn’t work, something may be broken or missing on your install. What kind of errors are you getting when it “stops working after computer restarts”?

      Yeah, that works as intended, what I meant is to have offline files, (full on sync folders) not only the virtual disc mounted. I work with lots of scripts (MATLAB) and the speed is significantly slower for virtual files.
