SyncDrive can be setup easily and synchronize your files stored on your Google Drive in your /home/SyncDrive folder. It can automatically sync files and also shows storage used/remaining. SyncDrive has indicator which is made for easy access to SyncDrive.
Grive:
Grive is written in standard C++. Grive can be considered still beta quality. It simply downloads all the files in your Google Drive into the directory. After you make some changes to the local files, it will sync your changes back to your Google Drive. New files created locally or in Google Drive will be sync respectively. Deleted files will also be "removed". Currently Grive will NOT destroy any of your files: it will only move the files to a directory named .trash or put them in the Google Drive trash. You can always recover them.
