How long since Google said a Google Drive Linux client is coming?

Nextcloud supports S3 as external storage. So it, and its app, are essentially S3 frontends.

I use nextcloud but I already have a k8s cluster where I host my stuff like calendars, notes, decks, S3.

One 10Gi volume is 1USD/month where I host mine. Yes, more expensive, but I don't need 2TB and also how come Dropbox can offer storage that cheap? What's their incentive?

Also I still use my Google account and if I add it into Fedora my Google drive appears in the Gnome file manager. So I'm confused about the lack of Gdrive client, I assume they mean from Google. But all Google has to do is expose APIs and docs and someone else will write one.

Blackblaze is at $0.005/GB/Month (so 10$ for 2TB) and they still make a profit out of it. I have no doubt Dropbox can make a profit out of users barely filling their 2TB limit then.
