I've been using Grive in Ubuntu 14.10, but after the upgrade to Ubuntu 15.10 the Google Drive app has been uninstalled automatically. How can I get it working again?

Please try to expand a little what you've been using exactly. And have you also tried new forks mentioned in comments, etc. (e.g. github.com/odeke-em/drive) as it seems the old grive no longers works because Google changed its API.– SadiFeb 3, 2016 at 9:40

You need to install it again, it happened to me too. Follow the steps on webupd8 about installing, giving permission and syncing:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install grive
Run in terminal:
sudo su -c "nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/thefanclub*.list"
add line:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/thefanclub/grive-tools/ubuntu vivid main
Then update package list:
sudo apt-get update
And install Google Drive:
sudo apt-get install grive-tools
