Dropbox only dabbled in photos. Despite my desire to support Dropbox both because they pioneered the online synced folder and because they supported Linux I ended up paying Google because Google Photos came out of the gate way ahead of Dropbox’s languishing attempts at photo management/sharing and Google Photos has kept a strong pace.

How do you sync from Linux?

They provide an installation method.

For servers, you can just run the daemon. For desktop, Nautilus is supported (or you can just run the daemon!).

For Dropbox? You install the official Linux client. For Google? There are third-party sync products and Gnome can mount it as a network drive but I didn’t mean to imply that I did; I don’t sync Google Drive with Linux.

I use InSync for Google Drive on Linux, works great
