Has anyone succeeded in accessing #GDrive files from a file manager under Linux?
I tried the gdrive kioslave (using Dolphin under KDE), but it fails because --
Unable to create KIO worker. Unknown protocol 'gdrive'.
Searching Synaptic, the only thing with "gdrive" in it was that kioslave, which (of course) I installed. DDGing for information about this finds very little, and a lot of what I find is wrong or outdated, and none of it mentions the gdrive protocol. The instructions for the kioslave seem to think It Just Works.
(Google's desktop client is only available for WIndows and Mac, and the Windows version won't install under WINE.)
I'm using the latest Kubuntu (24.10).
Context (usage)
@Harena is trying to offload a bunch of stuff from her #GoogleDrive in order to free up space, having almost used up the 15GB free limit -- but even after deleting a bunch of stuff, it only freed up a few MB and we're trying to figure out what's going on (and also it would be nice to have a more friendly file-oriented UI for doing this).
