Google Drive has no desktop client for linux. There is however a tool which let's you mount your Google Drive. Here's how to use it.
Install the tool:
sudo apt-get install google-drive-ocamlfuse
Create the folder you want to use for Google Drive:
mkdir <the folder you want to use for google drive>
Run the following command to open a browser, directing you to a page that will ask you to allow access to your Google account (this might take a minute):
google-drive-ocamlfuse
The next command will actually mount your Google Drive on your folder:
google-drive-ocamlfuse <the folder you want to use for google drive>
Because you don't want to do that every time you login, add the following to your ~/.bashrc file:
if mount -v | grep -q "fuse.google-drive-ocamlfuse" ; then
google-drive-ocamlfuse <the folder you want to use for google drive>
