How to install Google Drive on Ubuntu 14.04?

I am using Ubuntu 14.04, I tried to search for Google Drive on Ubuntu Software Center, but couldnot find it. Searched for answers in Askubuntu but all I found was ways to install Google Drive on Ubuntu 12.04 which didn't worked for me.

Can anyone please give me some ideas?

Update: Don't know why they marked it as duplicate entry, as the link mentioned in question gives answer for Ubuntu 12.04, which as I see is two different things.

Updated 9/15/2015 Due to Google's changing API you might be having problem during installation of Grive. So the site I was referencing have also changed their tutorial for installing Grive2.

You can find new tutorial on this new link: How to install Google Drive Grive2 on Ubuntu

To install Grive2 in Ubuntu, Linux Mint and derivatives by using the main WebUpd8 PPA, use the following commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install grive

Yes, It is true that there isn't a native google drive client for linux yet, so you couldn't get app on Software Center. And ways to install in 12.04 and 14.04 are somewhat different.
