From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I use rclone. The command I use to mount my GDrive is basically:
rclone mount "GoogleDrive:" ~/googledrive --vfs-cache-mode full --daemon
And then I could access it (almost) as if were a regular USB drive mounted onto my filesystem (by doing
cd ~/googledrive
). Only difference is that it is a bit slow, as none of the files ever get synced to the computer's hard drive (all changes are immediately uploaded to Google servers), and I cannot change the filesystem permissions (they are always a+rw for all of the files).
