Here is a mounter which uses fuse to get to google drive. you have to manually do an rsync, but that isn't really so bad (depending on length of the rsync, etc.).

Jim, Did you manage to get an rsync into a google drive working with google-drive-ocamlfuse.
ReplyDeleteI have a mounted google drive account and when I try to rsync some files into it it fails when rsync trys to rename the temporary files to the destination filenames...
[m@n ~]$ rsync -auv /user1/2008.38\ ACCESS\ STATEMENT/ /mnt/google-drive/2008.38\ ACCESS\ STATEMENT/

I am still using an XP service machine on my network with google drive and putting data there. That does lead to file name mangling, but I am not sure that google drive preserves the same spelling conventions as linux anyway.
ReplyDeleteSo far it is working. I recently upgraded to a 1tb drive and will be getting a lot more experience with uploads, as more than just photos and a few bits will now be put there. More chance for case conflicts, most likely.
