Product information
What this product does
Skymir mirrors your Google Drive folders to Linux with two-way sync, double-click Google Docs shortcuts, and a native GTK tray. Local saves upload within seconds; changes made in Drive arrive within about a minute. Deletes go to the trash on both sides, and a sync that would delete more than half your files is refused. $19 one-time, 14-day free trial, no subscription.

Problem Solved
What problem does Skymir solve?
It is for Linux desktop users on Ubuntu, Mint, Debian and similar distros who keep their working files in Google Drive. Google Drive for desktop runs only on Windows and macOS, so Linux users fall back on the web or command-line tools, and generic sync tools can treat native Google Docs as missing files and delete them. Skymir keeps real files on disk in two-way sync, turns Docs into double-click shortcuts and sends every delete to a restorable trash. Example: a Mint user saves a file and it reaches Drive within seconds.

Beta, Linux, or recovery edge cases often ship without SLA coverage.
Team and business tiers usually move to sales-led quoting.
One-time or lifetime offers tend to disappear at version boundaries.
