Google Drive for Linux may be coming soon

Good news for users of computers running Linux: Google may soon make its Drive app available for the platform. That is if a reported leak proves accurate.

 

PC World said this could also finally fulfill Google's promise three years ago when it promised support for Linux for Drive, its free cloud-based storage service.

 

A PC World report cited screenshots showing Drive running on Ubuntu - "leaked straight from Google itself."

 

It cited Linux blog Web Upd8 as discovering the screenshots "buried in a recent Google Drive for Mac installer."

 

"This suggests that development is actually proceeding on Google Drive for Linux, and that Google has an internal build of the software that they’re working on. As Google themselves use Linux internally—in fact, they have their own Ubuntu-based Linux distribution known as 'Goobuntu' —it’s unsurprising they’d want their own software to run on their own computers," it said. — Joel Locsin/TJD, GMA News
