Upload saves to google drive?

There was a very useful script packaged with MiSTer that could sync your saves to Google drive,
but it broke in a Linux update quite a while ago.

Does anybody know what would be needed to fix it?

This is one of them:
https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Scripts ... _upload.sh

It actually depends on this project:
https://github.com/odeke-em/drive

The error mentions the new Linux Kernel does not support this feature... but there must be a way around it?

The "drive" project that the script relies on doesn't seem to be maintained anymore, and others are suggesting to move away from it and to rclone.
Which will mean writing a whole new script.
Or....fork the "drive" project, attempt to update it for kernel version Mister is using and then modify the upload script to point to forked repo.

Can rclone work with some kind of remote ("cloud") storage? My main use case was to sync saves between my travel MiSTer and the ones I have in fixed setups at home.
