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?

No that's not what Kio-gdrive does at all.

It allows you to access your files as a network drive. It downloads the file you open into a cache when you open it and sends it back when you edit it.

I want a solution where the files are physically on my local drive and are synched when there are changes.

True.

The NextCloud/OwnCloud integration does this. I am not aware of a similar solution for Google Drive.
