Tadi rencananya mo pake keepassdx buat hape satu lagi dengan #gdrive sebagai hostnya.
Tapi rencana itu dibatalkan karena males setup rclone buat mounting file systemnya di laptop.
Lupa kalau punya server Vaultwarden sendiri, akhirnya donlod aplikasi Bitwarden dan login ke server selfhost.
Recurring nuisace: #Google Drive has, for as long as I've used it, been much less reliable than #Dropbox. The Mac helper thingy somehow keeps logging out, or crashing, or just not working. This is a weekly, and sometimes daily occurrence! I admit that it's been a while since I have had the pleasure of using Dropbox, but back then the Mac integration was close to flawless.
Ordered a new huge backup HDD for my #homelab . Now that more and more of my services are going to my private cloud I'm getting a little backup anxious as well.
For my off premise needs I'm still using my (family) #gdrive, connected with rclone.
Internally I have no kind of raid going, but using rsync to backup certain HDD and folders from them.
Sometimes in the future I have to take a look at my whole setup. Quite Frankenstein-y right now.
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 DDGing for information about this finds very little, and a lot of what I find is wrong or outdated, and none of it mentions the gdrive protocol.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).
Since Google deleted one of my accounts last week (and provided no way to contest its deletion or restore it), I've been worried about my main Google account. I was able to download all my Google Drive docs using rclone today.
Here are the general instructions on how to do that: https://codeyarns.com/tech/2021-11-30-rclone.html
