Overview

You can mount Google Drive using google-drive-ocamlfuse. Since it is "mount" rather than "synchronous", it does not overwhelm the storage capacity.

Installation

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:alessandro-strada/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install google-drive-ocamlfuse

If you are told

-bash: add-apt-repository:Command not found

Let's do this

sudo apt install software-properties-common

Authentication

google-drive-ocamlfuse

Since google-drive-ocamlfuse requires authentication with a GUI browser, the following error will occur if there is no GUI environment such as VPS.

$ google-drive-ocamlfuse 
/bin/sh: 1: xdg-open: not found
/bin/sh: 1: firefox: not found
/bin/sh: 1: google-chrome: not found
Cannot retrieve auth tokens.

There are the following ways to eliminate this error

Have a virtual machine at hand, create an authentication file there, and transfer it to a VPS
Completed with VPS (described later)

The method for case 1 is here.

In case of 2, you need a Slack workspace. First, set up the Slack app following here, and then here Go to% 82% B3% E3% 83% 9E% E3% 83% B3% E3% 83% 89% E5% 8C% 96). that time,

--Insert read on the last line. --Save to / usr / local / bin / xdg-open instead of / usr / local / bin / slacknotify.

Then run the following command again.

google-drive-ocamlfuse

Then you will receive the authentication URL in Slack. After that, open this on your PC and log in to complete the authentication.

setup

Create a directory in a suitable location and mount it there.

mkdir ~/google-drive
google-drive-ocamlfuse /home/ubuntu/google-drive

You can now mount it.

You can check with the following command

$ df -h --total
