[opensuse] google drive sync system
I would like to share between linux and ms-windows the disc partition that google chrome uses to sync google drive contents. Is that possible? I am not even sure that chrome can do the sync, on linux. Thank you paolo -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

You can mount any remote folder into your file tree, such as a folder on another (windows) machine, and let that windows machine take care of the syncing. There is an unofficial client for Google Drive (there may be others as well) http://www.unixmen.com/grive-unofficial-open-source-linux-client-google-driv... In my Humble opinion, Google Drive is not the best choice for Linux yet. There are also official clients for dropbox and SpiderOak. SpiderOak is fully encrypted with a key that even the Spideroak company does not have access to. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I really like SpiderOak conceptually, but in practice I have issues. Most of my issues are actually with the Spideroak windows client. It seems to get confused and starts burning CPU and network bandwidth continuously at times. On one machine a few months ago it was consuming about 20GB of Internet data per day. I haven't found a decent solution. (That machine I just keep offline most of the time and now have it at my office where I have unlimited data.)

I've had no problems with either the windows client or the Linux client but I use it for the backup feature more often than than the syncing. I love the ability to step back through multiple versions of files in the backup. Early versions had problems with clocks that were not in sync, but no problems the last time I used sync which was over a year ago. I should try the sync feature again.
