Drive has no Linux client,

~~I'm actually pretty sure they have one. I was doing a lot of exploring the last 2 days to make sure it was worth it to me to spend money on. And I landed on a downloads page on my Linux desktop that had a download link for drive for fedora, or debian. I can't find it on mobile (where I am now), but I'll look later on my PC and see if I can link it.~~

Was wrong, not sure what I found. Must have been the vpn or mail app.

Photos is extremely barebones and locks you basically in, as there is no export function

Interesting, thanks for the heads up. Hopefully it gets better later on, but for the moment I'm glad I made my own solution using a NAS, and a sync client.

Contacts still don't sync

This was one of my first concerns, I'm also annoyed by it.

Additionally, I was hoping their big "docs update" would also include spreadsheets, but hopefully soon.
