And yes, I am patiently waiting for someone to publish a file sync app that spans Google Drive, Android, and Linux - but I'm not holding my breath. All in all, it's still somewhat simpler than my current processes using my desktop. My tablet has a file management app that allows me to see my Google Drive folders, so I copy them onto the tablet that way.
