I installed google drive to Linux Mint 20 via gnome-control-accounts following instructions from here: https://www.fosslinux.com/1954/how-to-install-google-drive-on-linux-mint-18-1-18-2.htm
I have some Latex files in google drive. When I open them via gnome-control-accounts, the paths look very odd: instead of my original "myfile.tex" it is some abracadabra like this:
"/run/user/1000/gvfs/google-drive:host=gmail.com,user=myname/12ZSQjF4pmvwGE0bZzXwgxSrRS-lPD2ML".
When I open the file with TexMaker, it gives an error
Could not start the command. pdfLatex-synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex
I believe this happens because of the odd path name under which my tex files are saved.
How to solve this?
Merci beaucoup.
P.S. I also installed google-drive via ocamlfuse following instructions from here: https://www.techrepublic.com/article/how-to-mount-your-google-drive-on-linux-with-google-drive-ocamlfuse/ . It does run the latex files, but it works only in online mode, and you have to mount the disk manually each time you start your computer.
