It will be great if there was an option to start when the system boot.

Actually I don't know if this should be a feature of VGrive as the own OS should already have an option to add apps to start with the OS. For example, in elementary OS:

startapp1 startapp2

There is a standardized way to do this from an application that works for all distros and desktop environments. If the user chooses the option then the app simply needs to place a copy of its .desktop file in $XDG_CONFIG_DIR/autostart (which typically translates to ~/.config/autostart)

Nice! I didn't know where the conf files were placed. Then i will work on a configuration button to add vgrive to this file

Keep in mind this is going to be tricky to implement in the Flatpak release. Have a look at this thread for more info...it's probably easier to implement now, but I'm still not sure how to do it.
