[How-to] Access Google Drive in Ubuntu

Step 1
~$ sudo apt-get install gnome-control-center gnome-online-accounts

Step 2
Search Gnome Control Center from DASH and open Settings.
Beware that Unity Control Center looks similar to Gnome but it won't work in Unity (at least as of my posting date).

Step 3
Add your Google account and respond to succeeding instructions. When asked about applications to integrate with your online account, ensure you include FILES.

Step 4
Open FILES (or Nautilus). Your online account should be in the right panel.

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
