Just give us a web filesystem already. Stop with these shitty infantilized GUIs with no hierarchical organization and an overreliance on search to find things. I have literally hundreds of thousands to millions of files on my local machines and have no trouble remembering where I put things. Drive can't seem to scale past a few dozen before it's confusing, useless, and apparently lossy. Remember when web servers woul…

I'm sure the team would like to support Linux, if they had a bigger bud…

#77Earlier quoted context omitted.

To propose otherwise implies that all similar actions/statements made in a similar way are not made by the company, which is both ludicrous and also causes Google to not exist.

#80I’m sure that it’s not native, but what features would I be missing? I was very pleasantly surprised when it just kinda worked.
