Finally a way to have a “local cloud” with Google Drive – Insync

If you read my post on Egnyte before, you know I really like their solution to cloud storage. The bad thing with Egnyte is Egnyte the company. They are a pain in the arse to deal with, and they raise prices constantly.

Being an early adopter of Google Docs (now Drive), I’ve always wanted to move everything to drive. I run Linux though, and Google unforgivably doesn’t support Linux with their sync application. Another downfall with the Google sync application is it only supports one account. Imagine my delight when I found a small program called Insync.

With Insync, I can install it on my Linux box. I can install it on my Windows vm. Not only that, I can sync all my Google Drive accounts, and I can sync them to different folders. Let’s just say this little app rocks the party.
