# drivefs
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!
### Pre-reqs
* Golang version 1.16+
* Built using [FUSE library by Bazil](https://github.com/bazil/fuse)
* A credentials json for a Google Cloud project
* Easiest way to get one is to [go to this link](https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/quickstart/go#step_1_turn_on_the),
click on "Enable the Drive API" button, follow the steps and download the file.
### Usage
* Download the source, cd to the drivefs dir and build it `go build drivefs.go`
* `$ ./drivefs -credsfile -mntpoint -tokenfile `
* 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.
