GDrive, an open source client for Google Drive

class=”article first_main_article” readability=”37″>

official Google client will drive short-term-at least I have said from the company, but meanwhile if you want to use your Google account Drive in Linux there are other alternatives: the Google Docs file system FS is not too well with this service, so in addition to using the web interface the best way to use Google Drive in Linux is to use GDrive .

GDrive GDrive 500x306, an open source client for Google Drive

client unofficial Google Drive for Linux that speak WebUpd8 has some limitations, and for example does not have full sync, but it can upload and download new or changed files , so to access these files offline.

However

can not “wait for changes and automatically synchronize files or delete them.” Although the support is therefore somewhat incomplete is an interesting alternative that can get you out of some trouble . The latest version of GDrive (available on the PPA WebUpd8 if you are Ubuntu users) also supports the upload of new files (and not only modified files), but the evidence seems only possible to upload a file every time.

original article explains the steps for installing GDrive in Ubuntu and to use this tool that in the absence of the expected official client can be an interesting resource.

G-Drive storage service from Google, could see light in April

Google G Drive Drive2, the storage service from Google, could see light in April,

ask, Google makes more headlines with their Doodles with their tools and services. Yet the company did not abandon their plans to become the Internet grabbing power ends as if Skynet Terminator.

Not long ago we talked about G-Drive , storage service in the cloud. This week, just as ending March, reveal new elements that could show what the company wants to shape with this raid.

The first detail that stands out is its release date, between rumors for the first days of April. Although many media give free advertising saying it is the direct competitor of Dropbox or Skydrive Microsoft , if we take as reference qualities storage, lags far behind these services.

Was he talking about a capacity of 1GB free , the same figure that Google broke paradigms to enter the market emails couple of evenings ago but now comes short when measured even with the virtual record Amazon Kindle (about 5 GB).

interface would be equal, not ie identical to that of Google Docs and would be supplemented with both a desktop application and the web, although not yet known if fully integrated with the entire ecosystem of the company (taking into account the emergence of Play and unification terms of service, it probably is).

The added value that distinguishes it in all this economic move would be included within Google Apps , the packet business is handled between the mode of payment and gratuity. Also add an API that would allow third parties to use this (limited) storage.

So far, continue to launch tear gas, but Google has created expectations necessary to market their products. Suffice to see if this is sufficient to avoid falling into the same black hole which have already fallen inventions like Google wave.
