What is Skymir

Skymir is a Google Drive sync client for Linux. It mirrors your Drive folders with two-way sync, supports double-click .gdoc shortcuts for Google Docs, and includes a native GTK system tray. Local saves upload within seconds and Drive changes arrive within about a minute, with trashed deletes on both sides and safeguards against mass deletions.

Key Features

Two-way Google Drive sync with a Linux mirror mode
Double-click .gdoc shortcuts for opening Google Docs
Native GTK system tray integration
Fast change propagation: local saves upload in seconds, Drive changes arrive in about a minute
Safety checks: deletes go to trash on both sides and syncs that would delete more than half of files are refused

Use Cases

  • Keeping a local mirror of Google Drive files on a Linux machine
  • Editing files locally and having changes upload to Drive automatically
  • Opening Google Docs from the file manager via .gdoc shortcuts
  • Protecting against accidental large-scale deletions during sync

Why do startups need this tool?

Skymir fills a gap for Linux-based startup teams that rely on Google Drive, offering native two-way sync, fast change propagation, and deletion safeguards without a recurring subscription.
