In this video, I'll show you how synchronise your Google Drive in your Debian or Ubuntu based Linux file browser using Rclone and the graphical user interface application, Rclone Browser.

This will enable you to have copies of your Google Drive files on your computer and you'll be able to sync your computer with your Google Drive easily.

I’ll be doing this beginner-friendly walkthrough in MX Linux 21 XFCE but you should still be able to easily follow along regardless of the operating system you use.

IMPORTANT!
Removing the Gnome-Control-Center in Ubuntu or Ubuntu-based systems will also uninstall Ubuntu-Settings.

    I discovered this channel a few days before, and I find the way information is present here very helpful but most importantly, well documented. It's great how complicated tasks are done easily and seemingly effortless. Thak you!
  • Wow this was awesome I was bit intimidated by the long length of the video but every minute was so worth it. Thank you so much.
  • @eavssheets7511
    This is exactly what I needed. Awesome as usual. Thanks!
  • Thank you, it is a great resource. I wanted to sync a local folder to a shared folder on Google Drive and use the local fodler as a vault in Obisidian. This is exactly what I needed: it's free, you can pull the remote vault and you can push your updates, then everything is visible on other devices synced to the GD as well. A note: it might go without saying, but I was rather puzzled for the first time. If you want to use this to have a local, persisted copy of your GD folder, you only want to create the download and upload tasks. You definitely don't want to mount the remote folder to your local one. Otherwise, your "local files" are going to be gone upon restart.

    Never bothered working with rsync/rclone that much, but lately it's become more relevant when years of configuration and tinkering dispears due to computer failure, whish force me starting over from scratch. I'll shall consider setting this up.
  • @maekloev
    Very solid introduction, considering all typical use cases and everyday tasks. I like the hands-on approach, makes me want to jump right into the action. Thanks for sharing!
  • Thank you very much. This was the one thing I missed in Linux and now not anymore. You are very clear as a teacher!
  • @iPowerFound
    Thanks for all the helpful videos, great quality, easy to follow and helping me out with all my IT hurdles!!!
  • @Jack-ze9qp
    Excelent tutorial. I wish every linux tutorial was like this, the adoption rate would be much higher.
  • @nb3140
    Thank you so much for this video. Very precise and to the point. Like your way of demonstrating things. Quality content.
  • @rdb1
    Love the video. A simple and straightforward introduction to Rclone for new users. Also, it might be interesting to look at in a future video but there's a community spin of MX Linux called AVL-MXE geared towards video and audio recording.
  • @paulcorps
    Fantastic video. Thankyou for sharing, was so easy to follow.
  • @pixelate9980
    Thanks for the video. Rclone browser really helped a lot more than the termial experience of rclone. It was easier to navigate and explained in a crystal clear way which made quite a difference.
  • @ttby
    Excellent walkthrough!
