Hi,
Does it have to be mounted as a FS?

I do not have any experience with any of these, but am using this
cli-client [0] which works very well and is actively (though
unofficially) supported by a Google insider. It is also available in the
(AUR)[1].

It does not do background syncs as it's creator prefers a vcs-like push
& pull workflow.
It's definitely light and allows you to download only exactly what you
need without waiting for the rest to finish.

Cheers,
Bennett
