They are listed here because they are available on Linux and the article focuses on Linux. Note: Some applications mentioned here are not open source. Here we’ll see alternative ways you can use Google Drive in Linux. However, there’s always an alternative or workaround in the world of Linux. We even prompted the question again in 2021 with an article, but we didn’t get any hints. This deliberate and continual ignore by Google has prompted Linux users to question if Google hates desktop Linux? But unfortunately, an official Linux client is yet to see the light of the day, if ever. Since its debut in 2012, we’ve seen official Google Drive clients for Windows, OS X, Android, and iOS.
#INSYNC COMPUTERS ANDROID#
It offers 15 GB of free storage which is shared across your Gmail account, Google Photos, and various Google and Android services. Google Drive is an integral part of the Google ecosystem.
If you want anything to be installed just add it to the script and if it's not already there it will be installed when you "vagrant up"! It took me a while to get used to it, steep enough learning curve, but it's very efficient once you get used to it and it will mean you just have to move around a script file instead of a whole VM.Brief: While Google Drive is not officially available for Linux, here are tools to help you use Google Drive in Linux. It works by using a script, using chef or puppet, and vagrant reads this script when starting up the VM. This works by using either a chef(which is a ruby gem) and puppet(I haven't used puppet) to tell vagrant what you want your VM to include and install. I think Sekhemty's answer is the only way to do what you want.īut why does your virtual machine need to be moved? Why not just move your project(s)? Set up your project in a private git and just push and pull as you need it.Īnother method to try, if you need to maintain machine consistency and you're changing a lot, would be to use a vagrant and chef/puppet setup. This way you are using the pendrive to simply carry around your files, that when reimported will be stored and accessed from your computer, thus the USB speed is not a concern.
#INSYNC COMPUTERS ARCHIVE#
ova format will be created, it is an archive that contains all the files needed to use the VM, by importing it in another installation, you will have the same VM on the second computer. You can do this by selecting the VM and go with File > Export Appliance and File > Import Appliance.
The second solution, that also require a pendrive or something similar (but just to carry around your VM files), is to manually export and import the desired VM every time that you need to carry it away. The speed of the USB key could be a limit on the overall performance. To set the folder, go to File > Preferences > General > Default Machine Folder.
#INSYNC COMPUTERS PORTABLE#
I think that you have two options here: the first one is to set (in the installations of Virtualbox on both computers) the folder where the VMs are stored on some kind of portable or remote hard drive if the computers that you will be using are linked together on a network, you can use a shared folder, if not, I fear that the only solution is a USB pendrive or an external harddrive.
