There's also a fuse-google-drive but it seems like the development of it has been kind of on a break since last year.
And if I didn't dream that Google are finally developing a native google drive app for Linux.

Re: Google drive clients for Debian
I use google-drive-ocamlfuse:
https://github.com/astrada/google-drive-ocamlfuse
Its a bit finicky to install because it is written in ocaml and some ocaml libraries have to be compiled (gapi-ocaml, Fuse) and one of them (Fuse) has to be modified (it has a missing META file and that has to be created then the lib has to be installed manually via ocamlfind install).
But after that it works well. It mounts the Google Drive via fuse (accesible in the sidebar in any fuse-aware file manager) and keeps stuff in sync. It even downloads the Google Doc format documents, converted to free formats.
I also used Grive, but that requires interaction (on-demand sync only, via command line). And it doesnt download documents created in Docs.
