no files in grive Google Drive Folder

I have installed grive . It creates google drive folder . From gdrive menu bar when i click sync now it shows synchronizing and complete message .But no file syncs.My Auto sync is also on.


Solution 1:

grive is not very well maintained (last update was in 2013 I think), and google deperecated the api it used so it will not now work.

So for syncing Google Drive, you could try something else - for instance, this fork of grive. You can install that as detailed here, by adding the PPA ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8 and installing the grive package, or installing the appropiate deb package from here,

You can also sync using the Chrome/Chromium browser, create a application shortcut for drive, then sync for offline use - see here, here and here.

Google do provide a native client for windows/mac (the Windows one may work under Wine, I haven't tried this yet), however there is no offical linux (or ubuntu) client. There is some demand for one - as shown by this petition.
