This tutorial will help you setup mounting your Google Drive onto your Linux. This will only map the drive not sync which saves your local space.
KVM VPS is required. The VPS that is OpenVZ virtualized will not work. Try DigitalOcean 's KVM VPS.
Debian 7 64 bit is required
apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade
update and upgrade OS up-to-date

1. To configure OPAM in the current shell session, you need to run:
eval `opam config env`
2. To correctly configure OPAM for subsequent use, add the following
line to your profile file (for instance ~/.bashrc):
. /root/.opam/opam-init/init.sh > /dev/null 2> /dev/null || true
3. To avoid issues related to non-system installations of `ocamlfind`
add the following lines to ~/.ocamlinit (create it if necessary):
let () =
try Topdirs.dir_directory (Sys.getenv "OCAML_TOPLEVEL_PATH")
with Not_found -> ()

Do you have to do this for every user, or can you just do it in a domain? I'd like to map GoogleDrive like a network drive for school computers on Linux, if possible, but so far it doesn't seem like it is! I definitely don't want to go through all this for each student account though.
@AlexW If your server is a windows server, mount googledrive as a network drive is easier than this because you can just setup googledrive and share it as a network drive. This method introduced in this tutorial is for a command-line-based linux server once you succeed, you can still share the mounted drive as a network drive for students to access through network. xD
@AlexW just to remind you that currently GoogleDrive has a terrible upload peak limit. They limit you max upload speed to the server. I don't suggest you use a GoogleDrive as a high performance network drive solution.
Could you please help me?

@Mariusz 1. you probably need to setup some more room for swap. check these out first:
http://vpsmate.net/create-swap-kvmxen-vpses-ubuntudebian.html
http://vpsmate.net/create-swap-kvmxen-vpses-centos.html
2.Make sure you are using either KVM VPS or XEN. OpenVZ has too much trouble to setup this.
Cheers!
Good tutorial thumbs up! I was kind of lost in GitHub's Astradas manual...
