I had a look at this package today, and it seem to be useful for keeping a local and remote Google drive storage in sync.
A draft package is available from the Ubuntu ppa. I downloaded https://launchpad.net/~nilarimogard/+archive/ubuntu/webupd8/+sourcefiles/grive2/0.5.1-1+git20180819~webupd8~bionic0/grive2_0.5.1-1+git20180819~webupd8~bionic0.dsc to test the package. The ppa package fail to start automatically because it only provide systemd user services. I wrote a simple ~/.config/autostart/grive.desktop file to get it going when the user log in: [Desktop Entry] Name=Google drive autosync Type=Application Exec=/home/user/bin/grive-sync The script look like this: #!/bin/sh set -e cd ~/ while true; do if ! xhost >/dev/null 2>&1 ; then echo "no DISPLAY, exiting $0" exit 1 fi if [ ! -e /run/user/1000/grive-sync.sh_googledrive ] ; then /usr/lib/grive/grive-sync.sh sync googledrive fi /usr/lib/grive/grive-sync.sh listen googledrive sleep 300 done If you want to maintain it in Debian, I would be happy to sponsor your upload. See <URL: http://www.hungry.com/~pere/debian-sponsoring.html > for my preferences. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen
