Hey everyone! A few days ago, my friend Jordi said he thought it was not possible to install Google Drive on Linux... And I said, "But I have it installed myself!" "How did you do it?" he asked. I hesitated. I didn't recall how I did it... Back at home, I stumbled upon a video from @ComputerEverywhere that shows the process superbly! I was so happy that I wanted to share it with you, in case it helps.
