Missing settings in GNOME control center installed in Ubuntu MATE

Solution 1:

I found other solution to get GNOME Online Accounts working on MATE.

On Ubuntu MATE 16.04 LTS we need the following

1. install one package:

   sudo apt-get install gnome-online-accounts
   

2. And then set-up Google account in gnome-control-center:

   env XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME gnome-control-center online-accounts
   

3. Afterwards you will get your Google Drive in the Devices section of Caja named [email protected]. If you open this folder in Caja, then its location would be google-drive://[email protected]. This folder is synced automatically. But Google Docs will be opened in the browser.

Hope this helps.
