AILinux Google Drive 0.2.4 Stable released — native Google Drive for Linux

By zombie Loading...

AILinux Google Drive 0.2.4 Stable is now available.

This release keeps the native Google OAuth 2.0 + Drive API v3 + FUSE3 mount and adds desktop-aware file-manager integration. The app detects the active Linux desktop and installed established file managers and adds a native Google Drive location without duplicating entries.

Desktop integration

  • KDE Plasma / Dolphin: KDE Places with cloud icon
  • GNOME / Nautilus: GTK/XDG bookmarks
  • Cinnamon / Nemo: GTK/XDG bookmarks
  • Xfce / Thunar: GTK/XDG bookmarks
  • MATE / Caja: GTK/XDG bookmarks
  • LXDE / PCManFM: GTK/XDG bookmarks
  • LXQt / PCManFM-Qt: GTK/XDG bookmarks
  • Budgie / Pantheon / Unity / COSMIC: GTK/XDG bookmarks
  • Unknown/minimal desktops: standards-based GTK/XDG fallback

The detector uses the normal XDG/session variables first, then the user systemd environment and running desktop processes. If several supported file managers are installed, their native integrations can coexist.

Other highlights

  • Google OAuth 2.0 desktop login with PKCE
  • Google Drive API v3
  • FUSE3 mount at /mnt/google
  • Idempotent mountpoint preparation
  • Read/write filesystem operations and Drive trash
  • HTTP Range reads for large files
  • Local write cache and resumable uploads
  • Secret Service/KWallet refresh-token storage when available
  • Freedesktop autostart support

The 0.2.4 package was tested with a real Google account, Drive API access, a live FUSE mount and simultaneous KDE/Dolphin + GTK/Nautilus bookmark integration.

Note: Google Drive uses a restricted OAuth scope. Availability for accounts beyond approved/test users depends on the Google Auth Platform publishing and verification status of the AILinux OAuth application.
