How to add shared drive to google drive

  • 772

I'm using Google Suite and I have added my Google drive to Ubuntu online accounts.

I can see my Google drive and its content when I open the File Explorer. I have tried and successfully given all permissions from Google to Ubuntu gnome online accounts.

The problem is that I cannot see or add my shared drives, is there a way to do that?

  1. Update Q1 2022: this seems to be possible with current versions of Gnome: Screenshot showing Shared drives enter image description here

    This is currently (Q3 2019) not possible without additional (non-free or non-oss) software.

    There are open issues on Gnome's GitLab issue tracker:

    as well as on ODrives Github issue tracker:

    At least insync (commercial) claims to give offline access to Google's Shared Drives for flexible and productive workflows. There may be support in other commercial offerings.

  2. You should enable "show hidden files" in the File Explorer.
