Show HN: Google Drive as a file system
Hello everyone!<p>I have built a tool that allows Linux and macOS users to mount their Google Drive account locally as a virtual file system. The file system supports most typical operations (creating/deleting/moving/renaming files and directories, reading/writing to them).<p>It can also export special Drive files as OpenOffice documents and has an in-memory cache which improves the speed of navigation and file access. Changes performed on other clients (e.g. on the web or mobile interface) are usually detected shortly and applied locally as well.<p>I also wrote a paper[0] on it, as I am using the project for my bachelor thesis.<p>It is still rough around the edges and lacks some functionality, but for the moment it is good enough for my personal use. I am looking forward to hearing your comments and feedback on how to improve it.<p>[0] <a href="https://sergiu.ml/~sergiu/thesis.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://sergiu.ml/~sergiu/thesis.pdf</a>
