[xubuntu-users] Gnome Control Center

[fred roller]

I agree that the convenience of the adding access to the cloud services
would be nice.  Wouldn't a better request be to add the cloud services to
the current xfce settings manager.  This would avoid the gnome dependencies
and keep the OS clean.  Currently I use:

to mount google-drive.  And while it works well enough, what I saw in yours
would be more user friendly.

my 2 bits.
