[SOLVED] Gnome online Google Drive account in Nemo
Using Cinnamon 18.3, I would like to use the Gnome Google drive account in Nemo. I created the link with the email & password and it shows up in the list of network connections but when I try to mount it, the message is that
Unable to mount xxxx@gmail.com
Invalid credentials for xxxx@gmail.com
and please assume that both the email address and the password are correct. I have been searching for info on setting this up in Cinnamon but found none. Perhaps someone can point me to where such information exists. Thanks.

Re: Gnome online Google Drive account in Nemo
I have a similar problem. Mine was working fine then I had a networking problem that did not seem to be directly related to google drive now I get the same message you did, I have yet to find a solution.

Re: Gnome online Google Drive account in Nemo
phd21, thanks for the links. The truth is I tried them all with no success, and insync price (for me) is too steep for such a limited purpose. So, I settled on overgrive which works well, but at times it's a bit fickle and sensitive.

rclone - far and away the best cloud storage client there is - https://rclone.org/

Hi ineuw, and PNH, etc...
"OverGrive", "InSync", etc... are a couple of the sync clients for Google Drive cloud storage.
Linux Mint 18.3 and 19 have the ability to freely access your Google Drive accounts using the file manager and other applications after you follow the instructions in the links I provided before. You can copy (add), paste, delete, etc... as if they were folders on your local drive. This does not provide automatic syncing options like a cloud provider sync client does, but you could use another sync applications to do that like "rsync", etc...
I just booted into Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon and followed the instructions for "How to install Google Drive on Linux Mint 18.x" to install "gnome-control-center" and "gnome-online-accounts" and within a minute I could bring up the Cinnamon's file manager "Files" (Nemo) and scroll down on the left side and access my Google Drive accounts, see screenshot. I think these are already installed in Linux Mint 19.x (it is).
To install Google Drive Access, open a console terminal, type in, or copy & paste, each line below one by one: Click "Select All" above command, right-click the highlighted command, select Copy (or Ctrl+Insert), click in the console terminal window, and right click paste (or Shift+Insert or Ctrl+Shift+v), repeat for each command.
Then, go into the "Online Accounts" option from the menus or the System Settings option and add your Google Accounts, afterward they are available in file managers under the left side under Networks.
FYI: A new file manager for all editions of Linux called "Polo" can also access various cloud accounts.
Hope this helps ...

Re: Gnome online Google Drive account in Nemo
Polo integrates the already mentioned rclone to provide cloud storage integration...but you don't have to use polo to use rclone. rclone with nemo....
Performance wise for google-drive rclone leaves gnome-online-accounts in the dust.

Re: Gnome online Google Drive account in Nemo
Sorry for the late reply, was too busy with life. Thanks to all who provided solutions, and a special thanks to smurphos for introducing me to Polo. I am very impressed with that app.

Re: [SOLVED] Gnome online Google Drive account in Nemo
What if the "gnome online accounts" method of accessing google drive is actually working?
Is there still an advantage to rclone?

Re: [SOLVED] Gnome online Google Drive account in Nemo
In my experience albeit I last tried Gnome-Online-Accounts in Mint 18.3, rclone is significantly faster at displaying Gdrive folder contents than Gnome-Online-Accounts.
