Comments on: Google Drive for Linux incoming http://www.slashgear.com/google-drive-for-linux-incoming-25224636/ Feeding Your Gadget and Tech Obsessions Thu, 17 May 2012 09:19:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Dave http://www.slashgear.com/google-drive-for-linux-incoming-25224636/#comment-209163 Dave Tue, 08 May 2012 11:46:00 +0000 http://www.slashgear.com/?p=224636#comment-209163 May 8th, and not another word out of Google about Linux support for Drive … I call bullshit on Teresa Wu and her “announcement”. 

This has severely soured my respect for Google, and I will be research on ways to disconnect myself from as many Google products as possible.

But still, I am happy Google is offering their own version because integration to other services and Android will doubtlessly be tighter.
Dropbox will stay my primary cloud storage service but I am also going to use Drive for different things. No need to decide for just one single service.

They don’t say in this article that no-one else does this for linux so your comment makes no sense. EVERYONE knows about dropbox.

Google used and improved an existing open source product and released the resulting thing as open source – how is that a bad or ironic thing?

with Google being something of a cheerleader for open-source products – such as Android, the Chromium browser and Chromium OS – we’re guessing the goal is sooner rather than later.”

The incredible IRONY in that statement is that all three products are BASED ON LINUX!
