G-Suite on Linux

Because the current iteration of Google Drive works painfully slowly in Mozilla based browsers, I tried installing Chrome. Drive works a little faster, but it won’t let me share folders – I’ve tried in two different computers. In my desktop computer, Gmail now won’t open at all in Chrome.

Of course, Linux has no native support for Drive Stream, and I once had a bad experience once with InSync – it moved a lot of personal files into the office folders. I also tried Gnome accounts, but couldn’t get that to work. There’s ocamlfuse, but reading about the set up makes me feel weary. I need G-Suite only for my office job, but it’s becoming increasingly difficult.
