Yes, that’s right, native Google Drive integration has finally landed for KDE Plasma 5 desktops, and the implementation is possible if you’re running the kaccounts-provider 17.04 and kio-gdrive 1.2 packages that are included in the KDE Applications 17.04 software suite. If you’re using a GNU/Linux distribution that ships with some of the latest KDE Plasma 5.9 and KDE Applications 17.04 releases, it’s incredibly easy to enable Google Driver support. First, make sure that both kaccounts-provider 17.04 and kio-gdrive 1.2 Beta packages are installed.
