Have you tried watch[0]? Sounds like it might be a decent solution for what you want. [0] https://linux.die.net/man/1/watch

Thank you! I have covered this question in a different comment: > In short, GCSF tends to be faster in several cases (listing files recursively, reading large files from Drive). The caching strategy it uses also leads to very fast reads

Not at the moment. I would like to add this feature in an upcoming version.

I haven't use OneDrive, but I think it is similar to the Backup and Sync app for Google Drive, which targets a different purpose than this project.

I haven't personally used rclone so far. I will look into it and see how it compares to GCSF.

Some unwanted behavior might occur in scenarios like the one you describe. Most probably, the change performed by one client will silently overwrite the other. If there is however a small gap between the operations, the earlier one will hav

Not sure what you are referring to as implemented natively in GNOME. One crucial difference is the fact that Backup and Sync picks up local files (which exist physically on the user's machine) and uploads them to a special Drive direct

> This is neat! Can I use this for multiple accounts? I've been looking for a MacOS and Linux solution for this exact problem but I'd like to use it for 3-4 Google accounts. The current release allows you to mount a single acco

Thank you! I think google-drive-ocamlfuse is an excellent product. It is clearly more mature and has more features than GCSF. I made a comparison between the two projects in sections 4.2 and 4.3 of my thesis [0]. In short, GCSF tends to be

Thank you for your response! You are correct in saying that GCSF doesn't download any data upfront. It constructs the file tree at mount time using only file metadata and downloads the actual file content only when it encounters a `rea
