I guess it is my civic duty to point out that Google drive does not have native support for Linux , lest this point be lost in the conversation.

I use Linux primarily and have three G Suite accounts. It drives (heh) me crazy. They even moved from syncing to this FUSE-like Drive File Stream on Windows but still nothing for Linux.

Meanwhile Dropbox has a CLI client for your headless servers.

Is there a reason? I just want to understand.

There are lots of unofficial clients that work quite well. Drive is pretty good, if you like manually pushing and pulling files, which I actually find kind of nice
