If you're running into this: google.golang.org/cloud/compute/metadata/metadata.go:54: unknown net.Dialer field 'KeepAlive' in struct literal then it's supposed to be fixed per https://github.com/odeke-em/drive/issues/223 , but it's not working for me and neither do the workarounds. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Seems to be an issue with Go 1.2.2, upgrading to 1.4.2 fixes it.

If you don't want to use Go, try this http://syncdocs.com which does the same thing, syncing to Google Drive

Nice, but what we really want is a way to do it automatically, like Dropbox. I know Burcu Dogan was against automatic sync because it isn't 100% reliable in every case, but frankly she's wrong. That isn't a sufficiently bad con not to use it compared to the pro - it's automatic.

I like the approach drive takes, but if you are looking for full automatic sync, there is also InSync https://www.insynchq.com/ (linux client available; I've installed it from the AUR for example).
