Does anyone know of a good way to use Google Drive from Linux securely? I'm currently sitting on a 1TB Drive account with nothing really to do with it. I tried fuse-google-drive and it was so broken it was unusable.
- jpalomaki 13y agoAt least BoxCryptor[1] is available for Linux. I've been using the classic version on Windows for a while. Maybe there are also similar open source solutions available for Linux. On Windows BoxCryptor classic creates a virtual drive which you use to access the files. The actual files are stored as encrypted in Dropbox/GDrive folder. BoxCryptor can also encrypt file names. Benefit from this approach compared to for example TrueCrypt is that works really nicely with the syncing features of these cloud storage systems as the files are still stored as individual files.

- mateuszf 13y agoI'm not sure how Google Drive works for synchronization, but if it does like for Dropbox (automatic filesystem sync) than you could use EncFs or git-annex with encryption enabled.
- jlgreco 13y agoAh, I should be more specific: My issue is with accessing Google Drive on Linux at all, let alone with my data encrypted. An encrypted rsync-style remote with git-annex would be ideal of course. I'm going to give insync a look, though I'm not thrilled about paying for something to access cloud storage that I'm not paying for.
