Insync caters to power and business users who have different needs from the average consumer — needs that are not being fulfilled by Google Drive.
Insync, an unofficial Google Drive client for Linux, is now available in a repository for Ubuntu, Linux Mint and Debian users and it's recommended you add since you'll get automatic updates.
Changes in latest version:
- fixed symlinks not live syncing (before you had to restart Insync for changes to be detected)
- Nautilus context menu will not show outside of the Insync folder.
- Applets now have a pause/resume button to start/stop Insync from downloading and uploading.
- Gdocs are now downloaded in Open Document Format
- Built with Debian, fixes GLIBC error for Debian users.
