How to set up Google Drive (grive) in Ubuntu 15.10?

Question

I've been using Grive in Ubuntu 14.10, but after the upgrade to Ubuntu 15.10 the Google Drive app has been uninstalled automatically. How can I get it working again?

Solution

You need to install it again, it happened to me too. Follow the steps on webupd8 about installing, giving permission and syncing:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install grive

I have tried the above link. Still does not work. Please offer other option

Please try to expand a little what you've been using exactly. And have you also tried new forks mentioned in comments, etc. (e.g. github.com/odeke-em/drive) as it seems the old grive no longers works because Google changed its API.
