# :milky_way: UDS : Unlimited Drive Storage

Store files in Google Docs without counting against your quota.

sorry @ the guys from google internal forums who are looking at this

Development on a web-based JS version has started [here](https://github.com/stewartmcgown/uds-web).

> Note: After June 1st 2021, starting June 1, 2021, Google will count Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drawings, Forms and Jamboard files against the user's storage quota.

## Features

- Upload files to Google Drive without using storage space
- Download any stored files to your computer

## Logic

- Google Docs take up 0 bytes of quota in your Google Drive
- Split up binary files into Google Docs, with base64 encoded text
- Size of the encoded file is always larger than the original. Base64 encodes binary data to a ratio of about 4:3.
- A single google doc can store about a million characters. This is around 710KB of base64 encoded data.
- Some experiments with multi-threading the uploads, but there was no significant performance increase.

## Setup & Authentication

1. Clone the Repository and setup the requirements `pip3 install -r requirements.txt`
2. Head to [Google's API page](https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/quickstart/python) and enable the Drive API
3. Download the configuration file as 'client_secret.json' to the UDS directory
4. Run `python3 uds.py` or `./uds.py` for initial set up
