Is there an equivalent to Google Drive in Windows for KDE?

I'm talking full synchronization of my Google Drive files into a local folder.

I know there's the KDE KIO Worker that can integrate with Dolphin, but according to itsfoss.com:

Each time you try to modify a file, it is copied to a local cache directory. Once you finish modifying a file, it prompts for uploading the modified file to GDrive.

There's RClone that can do that I think, but I'm not certain. And it looks a bit complicated to set up.

What are you recommendations?

I wanted this as well to sync my Keepass DB. The KDE integration didn't work, it made Keepass freeze up. In the end I built a small container that uses rclone - works pretty well, but was very annoying to set up because of the authentication (you have to set it up in Google Cloud console yourself).

If you're interested, I'll happily share my setup, though you'll probably want to tweak some things.

Yeah that's probably what I'm going to have to end up using.

Why use a container though? Why not install it directly?

Since I'm using an immutable system, containers are preferable - but it shouldn't make any difference to have it run natively :)
