Although I haven't attempted to get it working yet, this project allows you to mount Google Drive to your Linux file system: https://github.com/dsoprea/GDriveFS
Access Google Drive locally on Chromebook via Crouton

Pregunta
I am using a Samsung Chromebook with the Crouton chroot environment (https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton). This has revolutionized my view of how practical a Chromebook can be for developer-type work. I love it.
But now I am wanting to synchronize files between my various PCs and laptops. Using git is certainly an option, but it requires one to manually check in my work. What if I forget? I have been spoiled lately using either Dropbox or Google Drive to automagically keep my files all nicely synched up. The problem now with Crouton on my Chromebook is that I do see any obvious way to have project folder synced using Google Drive. I assume Drive would be the easier route since its a Google product. But if Dropbox can be made to work, that would be awesome too.
Has anyone looked into this and found a workable solution?

You can access the locally synced Drive folder (as used by the rest of ChromeOS) from within a chroot
at this directory:
/var/host/media/fuse/drivefs-[unique ID]/root/
Note that the unique ID is different on each machine (or possibly each google account?) - you will need to find this yourself.
This can also be accessed from the ChromeOS shell here:
/media/fuse/drivefs-[unique ID]/root/
Dropbox works fine for me within a crouton chroot.
% sudo apt-get install nautilus-dropbox
