Is it possible to use Google Drive reliably? - eviltoast

I’ve been using Google Drive in Windows for about a decade and have a good workflow. I recently transitioned to Linux but cannot seem to reliably connect my drive to the filesystem. My work provides unlimited Drive space and since it’s for work I have shared directories with coworkers that I need access to every day. Hence, I’m kind of tied to GDrive.

Is there a reliable method of doing this? Rclone seems to be what I want but it seems to disconnect regularly, and often doesn’t upload the changes I make which defeats the purpose.

Do Linux users just not use Drive?

    Are applications able to write directly to the directory this mounts to? Could Codium add this folder?

      It shows in the Mounts section of nautilus, for apps that don’t recognize that you may have to go to /run/media/username/mount if it doesn’t show up in the Other section of file pickers
