[Dorset] Accessing Google Drive from Kubuntu Dolphin
Now that I have shared all my family History docs with my Brothers via Google Drive, I want to know if I can set up Drive as a directory accessed via Dolphin on Kubuntu [16.04 64 bit] I found a link https://community.kde.org/KIO_GDrive but using their instructions it is not found. Any advice - has anybody done it? Otherwise any time I edit on my computer I have to duplicate on Drive.

Hi Peter, > I found a link https://community.kde.org/KIO_GDrive but using their > instructions it is not found. That's a bit vague. I see there's https://aelog.org/kio-gdrive-released/ and https://community.kde.org/KIO_GDrive says how to install it for different distributions, though no Ubuntu flavours. Have you done anything to install it? «dpkg -l '*drive*'» will list packages, installed or not, with drive in their name.

Nope. > Otherwise any time I edit on my computer I have to duplicate on Drive. I couldn't see any instructions for installing it on Kubuntu, which is rather odd, considering that Kubuntu is one of the main KDE distros. What did you do; build it from scratch. There is a Unity GDrive package; just search for gdrive in Synaptic. I haven't tried it. -- Terry Coles -- Next meeting: Bournemouth, Tuesday, 2017-02-07 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk / CHECK IF YOU'RE REPLYING Reporting bugs well: http://goo.gl/4Xue / TO THE LIST OR THE AUTHOR

There is a $4.99NZL paid version which promises the earth too (not tied it) I did play with many of these a while back but lost interest and used Dropbox for backups as it has linux continous sync clients and duplicity backends Si -- Next meeting: Bournemouth, Tuesday, 2017-02-07 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk / CHECK IF YOU'RE REPLYING Reporting bugs well: http://goo.gl/4Xue / TO THE LIST OR THE AUTHOR

Under Install there was a command line install for KDE Neon, which was in the usual format, but came back with package not found. I have seen grive also, but not been too impressed by the comments on it.

Hi Peter, > I have seen grive also, but not been too impressed by the comments on > it. Ditch all this modern GUI stuff that will never catch on. Rclone is a command line program to sync files and directories to and from... — http://rclone.org/ It might make your "push of changed files" to GDrive easier.

This: https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-difference-between-KDE-neon-and-KDE-plasma[1] tells you about KDE Neon. I'm not sure how you get it from that post, but I think that it's effectively a repository which Kubuntu doesn't use. -- Terry Coles [1] https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-difference-between-KDE-neon-and-KDE-plasma -- Next meeting: Bournemouth, Tuesday, 2017-02-07 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk / CHECK IF YOU'RE REPLYING Reporting bugs well: http://goo.gl/4Xue / TO THE LIST OR THE AUTHOR
