I have tried over and over for 30 years now and every time I discover something is missing, something I’m not willing to give up. Today it was Google Drive. There are multiple solutions for Linux to mount Google Drive as a folder in the local filtersystem, none of them offer decent performance compared to the windows client. Every time I try Linux something like this comes up.
could you elaborate on what you mean by "performance" of cloud storage? the speed of upload, download?
The time it takes to open and list a directory using Nautilus in GNOME desktop. It can take 5-10 seconds with a directory of 5 files, a lot longer if there are 50 files in a directory. And all the "solutions" I find on the web involve some kind of guesswork and tweaking settings left and right, hoping to somehow hit a magic combination that works.
