I tried many different clients found all over GitHub but none of them worked reliably for me except <a href="https://github.com/ncw/rclone">rclone</a>. I also tried third-party proprietary clients like <a href="https://www.insynchq.com/">Insync</a> but allowing read-write access to all your Google drive files to a closed source blob is too much to swallow.</p> <p>Once caveat with <code>rclone</code> is that it does not natively support bi-directional sync (<a href="https://github.com/ncw/rclone/issues/118">github issue</a>) but someone developed a python script <a href="https://github.com/cjnaz/rclonesync-V2">rclonesync-V2</a> which is a wrapper around <code>rclone</code> which does the job. With these two pieces of software we can get close-to-official Google drive client experience.</p>
