Install Insync Google Drive Client on Ubuntu or Linux Mint

Insync caters to power and business users who have different needs from the average consumer — needs that are not being fulfilled by Google Drive.
Insync, an unofficial Google Drive client for Linux, is now available in a repository for Ubuntu, Linux Mint and Debian users and it's recommended you add since you'll get automatic updates.

Changes in latest version:

fixed symlinks not live syncing (before you had to restart Insync for changes to be detected)
Nautilus context menu will not show outside of the Insync folder.
Applets now have a pause/resume button to start/stop Insync from downloading and uploading.
Gdocs are now downloaded in Open Document Format
Built with Debian, fixes GLIBC error for Debian users.

Add Repository in Ubuntu:

echo "deb http://apt.insynchq.com/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) non-free" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/insync.list

Add Repository in Linux Mint:

echo "deb http://apt.insynchq.com/mint $(lsb_release -cs) non-free" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/insync.list
