Google Drive is not synchronizing properly

  • 772

I have install Google Drive using this nice tutorial. The issue is the folder is synchronized.

If I choose Sync Now option, a synchronization is started and after few seconds a message is displayed that it finished, but the folder on my Ubuntu machine is still empty:

If I Open Google Drive on the web I am seeing the files.

Could anyone advice?

    The API for google drive changed so that program won't work anymore.

  2. After having the fanclub install go dark, I just found this today (6 May) and it installs and runs perfectly. GRIVE works now.

    sudo su -c "apt-get install grive-tools"

    Check this link for details: http://goo.gl/trCAkX If you have a previous GDrive folder, it will ask if you want to delete and re-create it; your option, but say no and it will use your existing one and re-sync. In your program finder, search grive and you will see the setup and the indicator, click both. You will need to login to your Google account and copy a token into the Grive setup, otherwise, very simple!
