A simple FUSE filesystem for Google Drive on Linux.
Currently supports:
- Mounting Google Drive to a directory in READONLY mode only.
- Opening non Google Apps files (i.e., Google Docs, Sheets etc will not open)
- It downloads files only when opened and has support for primitive 'caching'.
NOTE: Still in infancy mode, proper logging, doc and other features (sync, upload, etc.) will come later. Pull requests welcome!
- Golang version 1.16+
- Built using FUSE library by Bazil
- A credentials json for a Google Cloud project
- Easiest way to get one is to go to this link, click on "Enable the Drive API" button, follow the steps and download the file.
- Download the source, cd to the drivefs dir and build it
go build drivefs.go $ ./drivefs -credsfile <path to credentials.json> -mntpoint <path to mount dir> -tokenfile <path to oauth token.json>- On first run, it will print a link to authorize the app and fetch an oauth refresh token.
- NOTE: Since the authorization is for your own app created in the pre-reqs step, it should be fine to proceed, however, make sure the file is stored in a safe location on the machine after download.
- It will fetch basic file/dir information (not the actual contents), and the mounted directory can be browsed using a regular file manager/shell.
