I’ve been using Google Drive in Windows for about a decade and have a good workflow. I recently transitioned to Linux but cannot seem to reliably connect my drive to the filesystem. My work provides unlimited Drive space and since it’s for work I have shared directories with coworkers that I need access to every day. Hence, I’m kind of tied to GDrive.
Is there a reliable method of doing this? Rclone seems to be what I want but it seems to disconnect regularly, and often doesn’t upload the changes I make which defeats the purpose.
Do Linux users just not use Drive?

Actually their pages say it is hard to find Linux devs for desktop, and that is why it is slow. And there is already a proton drive API you can use with rclone on linux.
And as far as critisim you said specifically not as good as google, so I provide a reason why. you can’t then change you tact and say it wasn’t critism whenvyou do a compare. It will come, things take time. You seem to keep moving goal posts here so have a good rest of your week.
I am using rclone with Linux, and works just fine. Just long term backups, but it runs the same speed (slow) as windows-to-proton.
Anyway, point being rclone works!
Yep, and some linux community will most likely pickup on development if Proton doesn’t turn it into a full desktop linux app like the Windows or Mac version.

Your initial comment was “Not gonna happen since Proton is all encrypted.” When I pointed out that that makes no difference–and we have Windows and Mac version (that accesses this encrypted data) then you switched to another reason. It won’t end, so I have to say good bye, knowing that My Proton Vpn on linux install works, the e-mail bridge works, somebody will integrate the Proton drive API with linux because that’s what the community does even if Proton doesn’t release it.
