    It's cool, I use it. But the multi-account does not apply for the payment of 30 usd, it is only for one. If you want to add more accounts, you have to pay more.

    Regularly at the end of the year they give away licenses, so be careful if they do not give you to pay for the license.

    (And Google, embarrassing that at this point and without a Linux client: https://abevoelker.github.io/how-long-since-google-said-a-google-drive-linux-client-is-coming/)

    A greeting.

    Well, I have not been able to install the trial version. And I have sent an email to Insync explaining this and they answer me that if I have synchronization activated (!?). They don't know! If this is the support they give to customers, we are fixed
