Not having a Drive client for Linux (yet) doesn't mean Google as a company does not support Linux at all. For example, Chrome is supported on Linux. We don't know - Drive for Linux may come further down the line. The reality is that a relatively small fraction of consumers use Linux at home or work. If I were releasing a new product, Linux wouldn't be one of my top priorities either.
- antihero 15y agoIt's a shame though, you think they'd support it. Think of everything Linux has done for them.
- glesica 15y agoAgreed, but the "techie" crowd tend to be the early adopters for products like this and help drive others to use them. It's not totally crazy of Google not to support Linux out of the gate (for the reasons you and others noted) but it is a little surprising, nonetheless.
- firefoxman1 15y agoI'm assuming it's in their best interest. If they plan on ChromeOS getting big, having GDrive built in will be a big plus.
