I'd like to be able to save directly to connected network folders (Google Drive, FTP connections, etc.) from applications like my browser, GIMP, etc.

In Dolphin, I have these folders listed and saved in "Places": enter image description here

But, when I save a file (even one I opened from one of these locations), the network locations don't show up. Below is the file dialog:

enter image description here

I'm running KDE Neon 5.17.

In Nautilus on my other machine (running Pop OS), they do show up.

This means I have to take the extra step of saving to my local machine and then copying it over.

Any help is much appreciated.

  • Am I correct in assuming that the second screenshot is the KDE file dialog? Also, it might be helpful to know what version of Kubuntu/KDE you are using, and what programs you have tried.

  • Thanks, @KennethHanson - yes, the second screenshot is the KDE file dialog. And I'm on KDE Neon 5.17.

So you are using KDE based linux, but this method is not limited to KDE.

So there is tools named "KIO_GDrive", that enables KIO-aware applications (such as Dolphin, Kate or Gwenview) to access and edit Google Drive files on the cloud.

  1. Just follow the instruction on this link https://community.kde.org/KIO_GDrive.
  2. Open the Network folder in Dolphin and click on "Google Drive".
  3. Give permission to access your google drive from online accounts.

Hope this answer help you.
