Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial Xerus: Add Google Drive to your files

Το GNOME 3.18 πρόσθεσε τη δυνατότητα πρόσβασης στο Google Drive απευθείας από τα αρχεία σας (Nautilus). Για να χρησιμοποιήσετε αυτή τη , το μόνο που έχετε να κάνετε είναι να προσθέσετε τον Google λογαριασμό σας, στο GNOME Online Accounts και να επιτρέψετε το “Files” ή “Αρχεία.”Google Drive Linux

Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial Xerus already includes GNOME 3.18, but Unity does not use the GNOME Control Center. So, to be able to integrate Google Drive into Unity, as well as other environments s you should install the GNOME Control Center. It works for all Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial Xerus derivatives (Kubuntu, Xubuntu, etc.).ubuntu 16.04

Before proceeding, please note that Google Drive is added via GVfs, so any changes you make to the Google Drive folder on your computer are mirrored in your Google Drive account (and vice versa), but you will not have access to other features available to all its official clients Google Drive on Windows and Mac, with options to share files, etc.

Let's see how it works:

Installing GNOME Control Center and GNOME Online Accounts:

sudo apt-get install gnome-online-accounts

Then search for “” in Dash, on the icon and it will launch GNOME System Settings.

GNOME System Settings (GNOME Control Center) appears as "Settings" in the Dash. "System Settings" is for Unity.

You can also run GNOME System Settings from the terminal:

gnome-control-center

or to directly open the GNOME Online Accounts window, run the command:

gnome-control-center online-accounts

You can now add your account and activate "Files".
