Mount Google Drive automatically at startup (as in Nautilus)

rated 0 times [ 14] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 5886 / 1 Year ago, wed, december 28, 2022, 10:09:39

I use the mount point /run/user/<user_id>/gvfs/google-drive:host=<host>,user=<username>/<folder_id>/ in an automated backup script to copy some files on Google Drive regularly, and it works well.

However, I need to click first on the Google Drive icon in Nautilus so that Google Drive is mounted. Is there a way to mount Google Drive automatically at startup?

To automount, you will need to find a command that does that through the command line. Try mounting a Google drive that is correctly configured through Gnome control center through the command line with:

gio mount google-drive://[email protected]/

Unmount:

gio mount -u google-drive://[email protected]/

Mount your drive using nautilus. You can then see the mount in the output of

gio mount -l

Once you have that command, include it in your autostart programs to have it executed automatically after login.
