KIO GDrive is a KDE KIO worker that lets KDE applications access Google Drive as a network location.
It integrates with KIO-aware software, including Dolphin, Kate, Gwenview, Konqueror, and Krusader, so users can browse, open, and edit files stored in Google Drive without relying solely on a web browser.
This is free and open source software.
