I'm setting up my new System76 machine with Pop!_OS, which allowed me to login with Google Drive with GNOME, however (as mentioned here), if you navigate through the GUI file browser to terminal, they're all nonsense directories.

Is there a way to navigate this like a regular directory tree? I'm aware of the other options but have never had good luck setting them up on other computers.

As found here, you can think of gio list -d as an ls equivalent for Drive (i.e. gio list google-drive://[email protected]) See also gio copy & gio open.

These will allow you to at least browse your files from terminal, but I'm still searching for a way to simulate a local filesystem so I can add mine as a media source.
