I've actually moved back to Dropbox after using Google Drive for awhile
myself.

When I was using Google Drive, I was using Insync (https://www.insynchq.com/)
to do so. It worked perfectly well.  I know it's not a free product, but
it will accomplish what you're trying to do.  It still confuses me why there
is no native client from Google.
