I have a very small amount of storage on my computer and would like to conserve it, so I would like to know if there is a way to mount my Google Drive in Thunar or Nautilus on Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS.

Yes, I know, it's weird that I'm saying that I have a small amount of storage when I have 2 file managers installed, but I literally have 5GB out of 16GB left.

  • Why do you only have a 16GB drive?

There is actually a way to do this.

  1. Run these commands: 

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:alessandro-strada/ppa   
sudo apt-get update  
sudo apt-get install google-drive-ocamlfuse
  2. Configure the program by running google-drive-ocamlfuse.
  3. Make a mount point in your home directory, called "gdrive": mkdir ~/gdrive.
  4. Mount Drive: google-drive-ocamlfuse ~/gdrive.

  • Also, I find it helps to make a shell script with these commands and set it to run on startup.
