The Linux desktop market share clearly isn't large enough to devote resources to. But you can take comfort in the fact that that creates space for 3rd parties:
Right, because when it comes to your data, giving access to yet another third-party, this time from Singapore, is always a good idea.

Dropbox has a Linux client. I personally couldn't give a damn about Google's motivation. By not releasing a Linux client, it means they don't care about me as their customer.
The problem for me with google apps is that they don't have a family pack. I can get Office 365 for 10 dollars for 5 home users, and each would get 1 TB, 60 minutes of skype, and office desktop. I am waiting for google to offer something similar (sans the desktop version). If I was to purchase G.Suite for 5, it would be 50 dollars vs 10 dollars (and no 300 minutes of skype).
OneDrive doesn't do file versioning, which means that it is useless for backups. It only takes one of your family members to get a ransomware in order to understand this ;-)
I have a 1 year Office 365 subscription too, but I'm not using my OneDrive space.
If you really think about it, Office 365 is overpriced. I already have Apple's Keynote, Numbers and Pages. They used to cost $19.99 per item, as a one time fee.
Google Docs is also free and actually works compared with Office.com
Digging the link to Drive File System reveals that is not Linux either. Like Dropbox's proposed product, this also seems baffling from a technical perspective. Implementing a user-mode filesystem is the easiest on Linux.
