KIO GDrive is a KIO slave that enables KIO-aware applications (such as Dolphin, Kate or Gwenview) to access and edit Google Drive files on the cloud.

Usage

Open the Network folder in Dolphin and click on "Google Drive" or from the command line using: kioclient exec gdrive:/.

Installation

Arch Linux

pacman -S kio-gdrive

Debian/KDE neon/Kubuntu (and other Debian derivatives)

sudo apt install kio-gdrive

Exherbo

cave resolve kio-gdrive

Fedora

dnf install kio-gdrive

Build from source

Build on Linux

  • KAccounts v24.08.0 or higher, optionally enhanced by

or

  • QtKeychain v0.12.0 or higher
Optional
  • libqt6test6 v6.5.0 or higher

Compilation

Assuming that you have all the dependencies already installed, the compilation process is accomplished using the following sequence of commands: 

git clone https://invent.kde.org/network/kio-gdrive.git && cd kio-gdrive
mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="$(qtpaths6 --install-prefix)" ..
cmake --build .

Lastly, you'll need to restart your running Plasma instance or simply logout of your user session and then login again.
