Google Drive sync for Linux
About Skymir
Skymir offers a seamless way to synchronize Google Drive with Linux systems, making it ideal for users who rely on Google Drive for storage but prefer or need to work within a Linux environment. Its two-way sync ensures that files are consistently updated on both sides, with local saves uploading within seconds and Drive changes appearing within about a minute. Notably, Skymir supports double-clicking Google Docs shortcuts directly from the local folder, enhancing workflow efficiency. Its native GTK tray provides easy access and management, while its safety features prevent destructive sync actions, such as deleting large portions of files. Priced at a one-time fee of $19, with a 14-day free trial and no subscription required, Skymir appeals to users seeking a reliable, cost-effective sync solution without ongoing costs.
